...question of survival. One or two primary losses may sink him, while his victories so far have kept him just barely afloat. Kennedy must restore his momentum, as he hopes to do in the primaries. Humphrey can only resort to more tenuous tactics. He must fight for his share of attention, but not campaign so combatively as to belie his banner as the unity candidate. He must also extend an olive branch to attract some of McCarthy's delegates if the opportunity arises...
...usual combination of factors caused the Fulbright family to sell: lack of interest on the part of younger members, pressure of other affairs, and a handsome offer from Thomson: nearly $3,000,000. Senator Fulbright owned a substantial share of stock in the Times, but he is not likely to miss the paper much. As a youth, he worked for it only occasionally. But in a way, he has it to thank for his political career. In 1940 he was president of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville when the paper harshly criticized Homer Adkins, who was running for Governor...
...Heading for divorce, Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon) is a casualty of the war between the sexes. The same calamity befell his old pal Oscar, an alimony-poor sportswriter with a rambling eight-room flat on Manhattan's Riverside Drive. Out of pity and penury, he invites Felix to share his lair.

That is probably an exaggeration, suggesting that, like Disney himself, Schickel romanticizes the. good old days, and sentimentalizes the nature of childhood as well. Schickel argues that Disney could not have been an artist because his simplified view of reality narrowed rather than expanded consciousness. Yet time...
...local Indians did not share the enthusiasm of their benefactors--only six appear to have enrolled at Harvard over the entire colonial period. For the first comers, Harvard hired two Indian-speaking tutors who were to teach Greek, Latin and theology. Their careers were brief: One tutor disappeared soon after he arrived and the other was dismissed for "slinging stones at Mr. Stedmans glass Windowes...as also giveing base and filthy language." President Chauncy, fearing the same outcome if he hired new tutors, appealed to the London Society to pay larger salaries to instructors who "have to deale with such...
