...cozy living room and a working kitchen (for Pinkham and Child). If Brokaw is as brisk as a barrister, the easygoing Hartman, 45, is as relaxed as the family doctor, someone whom you would not mind telling about all those aches and pains. He also has a female subaltern, Joan Lunden, 30, a wholesome-looking type who is given little scope on the show, perhaps wisely.

This is the age of Cecil Rhodes and Joseph Chamberlain. The exuberant correspondent foresees a "brave system of state-aided - almost state-compelled - emigration" to "regions of possibil ity" where...

Calhoun declared that the deed "stripped Congress of the power of making war, and what was more and worse, it gave that power to every officer nay, to every subaltern commanding a corporal s guard.
