Camellias. The courtly scion of four generations of South Carolina lawyers, who grows camellias for a hobby, Haynsworth had little stomach for the fight. He received the news of his rejection in his characteristically quiet manner, and with some relief: "The ordeal of the past two months has ended," he said afterward. Haynsworth said he was going to consider if he should resign his present judgeship...

Lodge had refused, claimed Thuy, because the discussion would not be confined to mutual troop withdrawals. What else did Thuy want to talk about? Plans for a coalition government in the South-a topic Lodge obviously could not discuss unless there were a major change in Nixon...
Britton said that the differential is partly based on the different capacities of house dining rooms. "North House, where the chefs work, has a capacity twice that of either East or South House," he said. When a girl from North House told him that the Holmes Hall dining room is never filled, he said, "That's beside the point...
