...high notes, but down low it is rich and round. As he throws himself into one of his specialties-Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes or Long Tall Sally-his throat seems full of desperate aspirates ("Hi want you, hi need you, hi luh-huh-huh-huv yew-hew") or hiccuping glottis strokes, and his diction is poor. But his movements suggest, in a word...
...Social Animal. For all of Thirteen's good points, Fourteen comes along as a relief. "There is more laughter and more noise and singing in the house. There is less withdrawal.

...week long, important callers moved in and out of the Gettysburg office, where two-inch, bulletproof glass in heavy steel frames had just been placed over the windows. Marion Folsom, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and Budget Director Rowland Hughes went in to talk about the HEW budget. Massachusetts' wise, cowlicked Representative Joe Martin, 71, Republican leader of the House, and California's pin-neat, trim (down 25 Ibs. to 208) William Knowland, minority leader of the Senate, went in for separate conferences on legislation, with incidental attention to politics.
