...THOUSAND DAYS: JOHN F. KENNEDY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. Some of Kennedy's advisers stood nearer the President, but none was better equipped than Harvard Historian Schlesinger to pay public respect to his memory. Perceptive as history and vivid as memoir, this-despite its touches of partisanship-is the most balanced assessment of the Kennedy years...
...perhaps deeper into the mountains, possibly into Cambodia. The American 1st Air Cavalry, which took some 240 dead and 470 wounded in the largest U.S. weekly casualty list since the Korean War, remained in charge of the field.

Yet at the same time, says Friend...
...Blake. There is a strong streak of mysticism in Altizer, whose eclectic theology borrows from such diverse sources as Buddhism and William Blake. One of his key themes is the ultimate reconciliation of opposites. Man, he argues, has by now lost the sense of the sacred that was so vivid in the medieval world. Instead of trying to put God back into human life, says Altizer, the Christian should welcome the total secularization of the modern world, on the ground that it is only in the midst of the radically profane that man will again be able to recapture...
