...ordeal" of Lyndon Johnson. He also produced a passable caption for a future Romney administration. "A new generation of progress," he said, "is forming up on the horizon." As usual, Romney laced his talk with moral homilies, and even his discussion of public responsibility carried a churchly ring. He told an Elks Club meeting in Idaho Falls that "the people of this country would respond in overwhelming numbers if their leaders asked them to give a tithe of time in constructive, voluntary effort"-four hours out of a 40-hour work week...
...whenever they meet, and a good-guy roommate (Jerry Heist). The movie begins with Lerner's discovery of a dinner-jacketed corpse in what I take to be the foyer of A Entry. The dead man, actually a boy of approximately Lerner's age, is wearing a handsome scarab ring and clutching a curved dagger of ominously Eastern design.

The only violence done the lady in the course of the picture is a systematic stabbing of her photograph, a truly shocking scene made horrible by the image's natural failure to change expression...
...what they'll be doing after Harvard." Second, Chayes feels that the notion that a person should expect to shuttle back and forth between government and private life "isn't too relevant." "The point of returning to private life," he explains, "is not to wait for some alarm to ring calling you back, but to settle down, adjust, and do some good work without worrying about your future in Washington...
