...expect. The child of Congress has become the political master of the White House. He is no intellectual, he is no innovator, but his candor, diligence and common sense have gained respect for his presidency. Few people crack jokes any more about his inability to chew gum and walk at the same time. Nor do they ask him, as a reporter did last fall, whether he is "intellectually up to the job of being the President." The Harris Poll, which showed him trailing Ted Kennedy by 43% to 50% as recently as last April, now puts him in front...
Summer School students who happened to walk through the Yard or have lunch at the Union during the last two weeks may have been puzzled by the large numbers of gray heads around.

The Highway People never leave the freeway: they live in trailer parks, and move on when the spirit moves them...
Absent-minded on a summer afternoon, you could walk right by it without knowing. You might not have noticed the Fenway nun, black and in black habit, waiting with her radio till the game ends, when she'll get to her feet with the donation basket already full of quarters to make it look good. And you could miss the Fenway paraphernalia vendors--booths on a city street in Kenmore Square are nothing special. going left from Brookline Ave. to Lansdowne, you wouldn't know that the huge wall on your right, grimy the color of the warehouse and shop...
