...line statements resounded across Capitol Hill as soon as the President had finished talking. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield managed to see in John F. Kennedy's State of the Union message "the authentic earmark of greatness." To Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen it was "like a Sears, Roebuck catalogue with the old prices marked up." Indiana's G.O.P. Senator Homer Capehart described it as "more inconsistent than any message I have listened to in my eighteen years in the U.S. Senate."

Brooker may prove just what Ward needs. At least, he was trained in the right place: Sears, Roebuck & Co., where he rose to a vice-presidency for manufacturing before leaving in 1958 to head the Sears-affiliated Whirlpool Corp.

The hybrid Longfellow narrative comes out of loudspeakers while the actors pantomime, but even without dialogue, the leading role is so strenuous that fresh Hiawathas are sent in like substitute halfbacks to spell the panting starter. Their hero slays the "wary roebuck," sears the wild West Wind, hunts down "monsters and magicians," wendigoes and kenabeeks. Skillfully J-stroking his canoe back and forth across the great sea water of an old stone quarry, he shoots mighty arrows at serpents made from inner tubes (every time he hits one, it has to be vulcanized...
