...sensuous poem, full of dawns "redder than meat," and chimney smoke that "bellies the ridgepole." The language is plain-grits as a folk song without being folksy. A be-ginning-of-the-world awe broods over the work: silence, solitude, finally the violence that ruptures both. Above the wilderness soar Audubon's birds, transcendent angels of life and death...
...parent holding company is now run by a triumvirate of Beyer, Chairman Joe D. Bain and Vice-Chairman Burton Borman. "We are beyond working for a living," says Beyer. "We would like to build a billion-dollar company. It has become an extension of our egos, because pur egos soar, and we want to keep building and getting accolades. We also enjoy money."

Nobody expects that the U.S. can defeat inflation by conventional means unless it accepts at least a 4% unemployment rate, and if inflation continues to soar, the Administration may indeed be forced to introduce controls. But Kennedy, a longtime top Chicago banker with no previous experience in sensitive public office, has not yet learned that a Cabinet member's pronouncements are automatically taken as seriously considered policy. Nor has he learned to dodge a potentially explosive question. While even his critics applaud Kennedy's innate decency and amiability...
