...President was perhaps at his best, and most himself, in his peroration. Said he: "The presidency brings no special gift of prophecy or foresight. You take an oath, step into an office, and must then help guide a great democracy. The answer was waiting for me in the land where I was born. It was once barren land. But men came and worked and endured and built. Today that country is abundant with fruit, cattle, goats and sheep. There are pleasant homes and lakes, and the floods are gone...
...completed 51.8% of his passes this season. He even thought he knew a way. Noting that most teams played their defensive backs deeper than normal against Baltimore, conceding short passes in hopes of defusing Unitas's bombs, Collier decided to take the opposite tack-position his halfbacks a step shorter than usual, crowd the Colts' receivers, make them commit themselves sooner.

Young marrieds, too, believe that pensions and medical insurance will take care of the future, are living to the hilt now. At the same time, so many moonlighting...
...Ieoh Ming Pei's New York office. Pei went over his works carefully. "He explained how he had developed, what was his high mark and his low in his own estimation. When he showed his last two buildings, I remarked that each seemed to be quite a great step forward. He looked at me and said, 'Yes, but I feel that I am on the verge of my greatest work.' Mrs. Kennedy almost gave him the job right then and there...
