...usual, the tight little Kennedy inner group had done the kind of meticulous preparation that should fascinate political science classes for years to come. A screening committee of veteran Kennedy staffers, headed by Brother-in-Law Sargent Shriver and Larry O'Brien, began combing banks, foundations, campuses and corporations for the names of likely candidates and assembling background data. In some cases, very little research was needed (e.g., Arkansas Senator Bill Fulbright, who was already well known to Kennedy). In others (e.g., Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara, whom Kennedy had never met), a complete dossier was ordered...
...psychological problems of creating the new German army were unique. Though it was to be a democratic army, its first officers obviously had to be veterans of the old Wehrmacht, nearly all of whom had been willing Nazi servants.

For the ject matter of the Week should been considered by the entire Harvard community, not only by the group of interested students probably would have given questions serious thought...
...Home that seem quite wrong. Jay's brother looms too large, performs too loud; the play is far too long in ending and then ends badly.

But, with good performances by Colleen Dewhurst, Arthur Hill, Aline MacMahon and John Megna (as the small son), the people, most of them, smell of life and their behavior smacks of truth.
