...State Department official carefully. Returning from Saigon to report to Dwight Eisenhower, the President's special envoy, General J. Lawton Collins, would only say that "We are behind the legal government of Viet Nam," and he didn't mention Premier Ngo Dinh Diem. The French government, wise in such subtleties of omission, concluded that General Collins had perhaps given way to them, and was recommending Diem's replacement...
...scenes as well as ably directing the production. It would be quite impossible to distill Joyce's monolith into two hours of speech and song and still retain all the thematic complexities, with their continual restatement in terms of almost everything in myth and history. Miss Manning has been wise in not attempting this, for the result could only be tedious and disastrously confusing.

I sometimes think it was a very wise procedure in the mind of the Creator when He invented nighttime. The darkness comes down and blots out everything that has happened during the day. Then, after the nighttime has passed, a new day dawns, and every day is a fresh beginning...
