...Patriotic," "kindly," "gentle," "sweet" and "generous" are the words that his family and friends use. His children know that he can be tender, for we have seen him rock each of his twelve grandchildren in turn, singing their favorite song, Frog Went a-Courtin'. Won't that surprise some of his colleagues on the Hill, who think he eats cactus for breakfast...
...rounded voice and considerable acting talent. Her only fault was that she scarcely fitted Verdi's bill ("I would have Lady Macbeth ugly and wicked ... her voice should be that of a devil"). For the most part, Soprano Rysanek seemed more like an ambitious Org Man's tender helpmate than a driven woman goading her weak husband to murder. But in the sleepwalking scene she rendered Verdi's compassionate music with memorable grace. As Macbeth, Baritone Leonard Warren walked through his part woodenly but sang as well as ever, while as Macduff, Tenor Carlo Bergonzi delivered...
There is an exhilarating air in Cuba today. One can sense the new-born optimism and joy in the atmosphere of the carabets.

Ahead, just then, they saw land: High Island, a small square bump in the lake. Slowly, the raft drifted toward it. Fleming turned around: behind, bearing down on them, was a ship. They were spotted. It was the Coast Guard tender Sundew. They cried: "It's coming! It's coming!" It was about 15 hours after the Bradley had gone down when they sank to their knees in thanksgiving for their own survival-and in mourning for the 33 men of the Bradley who had died on Lake Michigan in November's seas...
