...years, L.B.J. has been effectively sole ruler of the Senate, in which capacity he has been responsible for the enactment--and the emasculation--of more liberal legislation than in any era since the Hundred Days. For both the enactment and the emasculation he has incurred the love and wrath of almost everybody around. He has, as both his defenders and his detractors remind us, "bridged the gap" between North and South, liberal and conservative, Douglas, in a word, and East-land. And by doing so he has kept the machinery running...
...solution it wanted. To bring back Parliament would probably be tantamount to re-electing the erratically irresponsible Patrice Lumumba; it might also send Colonel Joseph Mobutu's ragtag army up in flames. Besides, President Joseph Kassvubu was dead against it.

...similar nature, and they involve another man. The situation invites triteness; he is the minister of the local church-a hulking, clumsy, God-obsessed man. But Pastor Guymer is no Reverend Davidson, and in the end it is not his suicide that closes the book. The unbending wrath of the Old Testament fills Guymer, and he calls down the vengeance of the God he loves upon the parishioners he despises. Germaine listens with a musician's delighted ear as he roars about frippery and fornication. She squirms with amusement at the thought that she is the Baal worshiper whom...
