...remarkably close to the London Keats must have known in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. By skillful, imaginative use of sources, he lifts the dullness from detail and adds a charm of his own: "On February 9, which was a fair warm day, [Keats] took a short walk in the garden, but he seems to have remained indoors the rest of the month, spending much time in bed." And Bate treats the familiar questions of Keats scholarship--his medical history, his finances, the effect of the Endymion reviews--with an informed common sense that never collapses into pedantry...
...wildlife preservation, Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, 43, who gets a boot out of barging around mountains (two years ago he loped up Japan's 12,388-ft. Mount Fuji), now was set on 19,317-ft. Mount Kilimanjaro. "This is not a dangerous climb, just a long, hard walk," said Stew, and up he went casually clad in climbing pants, sports shirt and sweater. That was a bit skimpy for the hidden throes of Kilimanjaro-one seasoned mountaineer in the party collapsed from the altitude-but puffing and wheezing, Udall hauled himself onto the summit three days after starting...

When the pitcher has the breeze at his back, he figures he doesn't have to hold back, and he doesn't walk so many men." There are the old arguments about light and dark ("too many night games"; "too many day games") that seem to cancel each other out, and the usual deprecation of younger-generation hitters, which loses force when recent home-run binges are recalled...
...your Romper Room manners, honey." It also has a celebrated prop, the Do Bee and Don't Bee blackboard, with two big wooden bees on the top and a fresh message each day on the slate, for example, Don't Bee a Street Player, Do Bee a Walk Player. ("Don't be a street walker," said one teacher, fluffing that one.) "Remember your Do Bee manners," says teacher to a Lilliputian loudmouth. "Use your inside voice." When the little Romper roommates sit down for their cookies and milk, they say, "God is great, God is good...
