...going to seek his pardon/ This cold December day.") Ajemian's reporting was woven into a cover story by Staff Writer Walter Isaacson, who got out from behind his desk in Manhattan to catch Connally in action at some Northeastern whistlestops. As a native son of Louisiana and former city hall reporter for the New Orleans States-Item, Isaacson is familiar with the eccentricities of Southern politicians. "Their style," he says, "is a stimulating mix of the byzantine and the evangelical." This week, after a year and a half as a Nation writer in New York, Isaacson begins...
...fishbowl," he said. "I can't sneak around any more." But he plans to maintain something of a private life. Though divorced from his first wife, he spends as much time as he can with his two daughters, who live with him in Manhattan, and his Oxford-educated son, who is in Boston paradoxically training to be a chef...

Only his bathing suit was paid for, and it, of course, was on sale...
...toward the camera but to the world at large. Biographer Tom Dardis traces this response back to Keaton's childhood. Not long after his birth in 1895, he joined his parents' vaudeville act. The routine evolved by the Three Keatons consisted chiefly of father kicking and bashing son around the stage. One reviewer in 1905 complained about the "tiresome use of the child's body for the wiping of the stage floor." As Buster grew, so did the level of showtime violence, and the only way to keep audiences entertained without frightening them was for the little...
