...Zooey's lyric rant is not a seminarian's thesis; it is a gift of love received from Seymour and transmitted to a distraught, prayer-drunk, 20-year-old girl. Apart from questioning the depth of this message, critics?notably Alfred Kazin, who apologizes solemnly for having to say it???have suggested that the Glass children are too cute and too possessed by self-love. The charge is unjust. They are too clearly shadowed by death, even in their woolliest, most kittenish moments, to be cute, and they are too seriously worried about the very danger of self-love...
...line by an actor who calls her "sweetie." Together they have set some sort of theatrical record, he as a director and she as playwright, for seriously antagonizing almost no one, despite the frenetic, hypersensitive atmosphere of pre-Broadway rehearsals, when nearly everyone behaves?as Jean Kerr puts it???"as if they had just been rescued from burning stables."

Yet by easing the G.O.P. platform in the directions that Nelson Rockefeller had urged, Nixon largely canceled out the political appeal of the Democratic platform, and made the G.O.P. platform what he wanted to make it???an elective basis for his campaign and a point of departure for the challenging decade ahead...
From the pulpit of St. Paul's the Rev. George Arthur Lewis Lloyd, vicar of Chiswick and rural dean of Hammersmith, last month called for disestablishment. Was state protection of the church, he asked, "worth the high price that is paid for it??? limitation of her spiritual freedom, denial of any choice in the appointment of her leaders, and insidious secularism which results from the constant attempt to impose upon the church the state's own lower standards of morals?" Prime Ministers of Britain presumably need not even be Christians, let alone Anglicans, since there are no formal religious qualifications...
