...himself had seen his coreligionists, the Roman Catholic gentlemen of northern England, led, bound by halters, through the violent Protestant mobs of London. Such circumstances must give an edge of sincerity to satire. Pope's verses, light as dragonflies yet possessed of tempered strength, were written under the shadow of heavy penalties...
...Nixon is strongly for it. The Department of Defense holds that "reliance upon volunteers is clearly in the interest of the armed forces." Such conservatives as Barry Goldwater and William Buckley back the idea, and so do many liberals, including James Farmer and David Dellinger. Young men under the shadow of the draft want it, and so do their parents.

Now the firm is catching up, as Rothschilds always seem to do. Edmund de Rothschild, 52, remains the senior partner, but the man who is taking an increasingly vocal role is his first cousin, Evelyn de Rothschild, 37. Unlike Edmund, who is active in a largely ceremonial way, Evelyn is pursuing a more aggressive family stewardship...
