...auditorium is ringed with five shallow balconies that stand out like golden horseshoes against the garnet walls; the orchestra seats stand in an island unbroken by aisles, European-style. Although the theater is as big as the acrophobia-inducing Metropolitan Opera House, it has a feeling of closeness and intimacy that makes it seem far smaller. Only 550 of the 2,729 seats are farther than 100 feet from the stage, and all but a few of the $1.05 seats at the top have a perfect sight line.

But the Navy would not accept bridges over the major ship channels, on the reasonable military grounds that they might be bombed in case of war and block the channels.

"First," he writes, "there must be leaders who will encourage, even demand, constructive attitudes and actions completely apart from demonstrations...
...Billy Potts owned a tavern in Ford's Ferry, Ky. Its floor was covered with bloodstains; outside, the grounds were filled with shallow graves. Travelers who stayed overnight could not depend on getting up again next morning. Billy's son, a chip off the old block, was caught robbing by two farmers, was forced to leave the state. Years later he returned with a hefty bankroll and a beard. He decided to surprise the folks by not letting on who he was. Not recognizing him, Daddy cheerfully sank a knife into his back, fleeced him, and went...
