Bells pealed all across the congested city of Rio as John Paul's "Popemobile" arrived. At a jammed open-air Mass in sight of Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Pope made his way to the altar, hugging and kissing babies. Two days later, in São Paulo, the fervor of an open-air throng of 1.5 million brought tears to John Paul's eyes...
...Newman) who leaves Herschel to tryst with Goliath and is turned into a pillar of salt. Even in A.D. 1980, the wrath of God should not be ignored: for He brought upon this production a plague of unfunny punch lines and lackluster performances. There are a couple of droll sight gags (Goliath's oversize undershorts hanging out to dry; Coco at work in the pharaoh's palace, trying to sweep up hundreds of frogs with a dustpan and broom), but nothing can redeem Wholly Moses! from its destiny of eternal mirthlessness.

Here are the internationalists and the noninterventionists: Founding Father Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, certain that England is finished; William Randolph Hearst, "that gray and lifeless mask"; W.H. Auden, "loose from the world and alone, suspended in space." What remains just out of sight is the relentless dilation of every Lindbergh move, the echoes of the kidnaping and murder of the couple's first child, and the inability of the great, silent pilot to make himself understood-except to his wife. In the end, War Within and Without is less history than love...
