Strange Gods. With the death of Oklahoma's Bob Kerr, Long ranks next to ailing Harry Byrd among Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee, and is the logical shepherd for Administration fiscal programs opposed by Conservative Byrd. But Long, like Kerr, often conditions his support on what his own state gets in return, and his stands are even harder to categorize than Kerr's. On many issues -such as antitrust legislation-Russell seems proper heir to his father's red-clay radicalism. But. like Kerr, Long bitterly fights any attempt to alter the oil-depletion tax allowance...
...would have been a perfect trip, in fact, but for the ever-present security agent assigned to shepherd Nekrasov's 19-man delegation of Russian writers, teachers and engineers. "He was in a state of constant worry, and counted us every minute like chickens," complained Nekrasov. "The most terrible thing for him was if you said.

This double misfortune turns our Good Shepherd into an apocalyptic beast, who incites ("No prisoners!") a gratuitous massacre of fleeing Turks...
Host to Rulers. In the papacy. John asked to be known not as a diplomatic, political or learned Pope, but as "the good shepherd defending truth and goodness." He sallied out of the Vatican to orphanages, jails, schools, churches?139 times. He dispensed with such customs as that of barring visitors from St. Peter's dome while the Pope is walking in the garden below. Said John: "Why shouldn't they look? I'm not doing anything scandalous." He pronounced himself embarrassed at being addressed as "Holiness" or "Holy Father.'' and admitted that he could not get used to thinking...
