...Nixon Cabinet seems to be constructed more of grey fieldstone than glinting steel and glass, so does its architect. If it is short on commitments on specific issues, so is Nixon. If seven of the twelve live west of the Alleghenies, that was the source of the votes. Though a son of the Pacific Coast and a man of the Atlantic, Nixon has always had his political heart in the Midwest...
...apartment in Northampton in a building owned by Smith College. Furniture is no problem: since her parents' new residence in Washington comes furnished, Julie has scavenged their Manhattan apartment for everything from her father's fruitwood chest to end tables and Oriental rugs. David will commute the seven miles to Amherst in a well-worn white 1962 Valiant, which he bought from his grandmother last year. After earning his degree in political science, he plans to study law, perhaps at Georgetown University in Washington. As for Julie, after graduation in 1970, she aspires to work on documentary films...

The book was a frank, self-effacing narrative of Merton's peripatetic youth: his dizzying year at Cambridge, his first grapplings with the craft of poetry, his mildly wicked undergraduate years at Columbia (including a one-meeting membership in the Young Communist League), his ultimate discovery of a faith and a vocation. It was a book suffused with spiritual zeal, and was perhaps the last great flowering of Catholic romanticism. Its perfume...
