...says he feels happier now than ever before in 20 years of lecturing because "Here people want to believe, want to agree with you." Still, he constantly worries about his worthiness to appear before them. Two or three days before each lecture he begins to live in the subject he wants to discuss, in walks around the block or along the river. Nothing is written, or even mentally composed. Sentences (except for the first and the last, which he says he forgets by the time he gets to it anyway) aren't attempted. He prepares by convincing himself...
...goes on in the 36 non-primary states. These states and the four territories command a heavy majority of the delegate votes that will be cast at Chicago-1,568 out of 2,622. And of the 15 primaries (14 states and the District of Columbia), several are not subject to direct challenge. In Ohio, for instance, Senator Stephen Young seems to have the 115-vote delegation behind him as a favorite son. Young has been planning-at least so far-to release these votes to Johnson before the convention's first ballot...
...autumnal tiffs and recriminations, and turns to icy death in a winter of unfeeling. The play is intimate and perceptive, though it lacks dramatic vigor. The language that might have lifted it to poetry is too often absent. Yet the playwright's intent is aspiring and his subject compels attention...
Allsop's well-researched study-a matching piece to his earlier book, The Bootleggers-often seems as rambling as its subject. Like its heroes, it travels at a leisurely pace. But by and large, its heroes are amiable men to travel with. Even the self-righteous Allan Pinkerton, whose railroad detectives were the bane of post-Civil War hoboes, was a tramp once himself, and he never quite got over it. While the Pinks were running down the men they called "miserable communistic outcasts," Pinkerton himself felt compelled to confess "an irrepressible impulse to go a-tramping" again...
...teaching at Shaw is a peculiar combination of old-fashioned educational philosophy and experimental new methods. Miss Watson, the formidable head of the English department, stubbornly defends her course in transformational grammar (a type of semantic analysis used in computer science). The subject baffles other members of the department, and gives considerable trouble to students who cannot yet distinguish between adjectives and verbs. But no one graduates who has not passed the course. Many students are taking it the second and third time; the failure rate is high even for Shaw...
