...example, are those interminable tête-à-têtes about the creation of the world, etc., between God and Jesus, and between God and Adam. Gone too are most of the lofty jawboning sessions with angels who tend to sound like an unfortunate blend of Dean Rusk and Charlton Heston. Collier skips the Creation entirely, as well as the war in heaven (in fact, most of Books III, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI), except for the fall of Satan's defeated forces toward hell. Where it suits his purposes, though, he uses Milton's verse verbatim...
During his four years as Ambassador to Laos (1964-68), where he ran U.S. political and military involvement with an iron hand, Sullivan's reports were often memorably pithy.

Another old friend, W. Marvin Watson, declared that Johnson "was ours, and we loved him beyond any telling of it." Metropolitan Opera Soprano Leontyne Price sang Precious Lord, Take My Hand. Finally the body of Lyndon Johnson was borne...
...could scarcely venture out even to the National City Christian Church without risking an encounter with angry youths chanting, "Hey, hey, L.B.J., how many kids did you kill today?" Yet, as the funeral service ended last week, small groups of young people came forward seeking the autograph of Dean Rusk. The incident suggested that the bitterness of the nation's longest war was just beginning to fade, and as President Nixon said in announcing the ceasefire: "No one would have welcomed this peace more than...
