...sensible things. But he should take his full share of guilt for what happened. For his own ends, intentionally or otherwise, he has encouraged these young people in the highly emotional involvement in public affairs that led them into irrational conduct and the consequent disaster. For months we have seen screaming mobs of innocent children whipped into frenzy by the "dream" that the fate of the country depends upon the election of a particular candidate. No one man can save America, regardless of how capable he is. Neither Humphrey nor Nixon can do it alone. The Senate, the House...
Looking to 1972. In defeat, McCarthy stuck to his guns. The traditional show of party unity was beyond him-particularly after what he had seen on Michigan Avenue-and he refused to appear on the convention platform with the winner. He would not, he said, endorse either Humphrey or Nixon. "We've forgotten the convention," he told his supporters. "We've forgotten the Vice President. We've forgotten the platform."

Most recently, a Paris scholar claimed that the lady resembled Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. Director Rich calls that opinion "moonshine" and "absurd." His thesis: "All three paintings go back to a lost original, perhaps by Clouet...
...past beckons like a man, and ritualistically, she riffles through the consolations and terrors of her childhood. Her only affection is for her forbidding Scottish father, who flashes by like something seen from a speeding train. He was an undertaker by profession, and so she also associates him with punishment and death. Sometimes her involuntary memory plunges into the future, and she wishfully imagines that she is cramming sleeping pills into her mother's mouth. It all smacks of paperback Freud-and so it could have been...
