...more comprehensive example of religious revival in the suburbs is the Community of Christ the Servant in Downers Grove, Ill., a booming residential district just west of Chicago. With the blessing of President Robert J. Marshall of the Lutheran Church in America, the Rev. Jack Lundin, 43, set up headquarters in a rickety barn and house opposite a new shopping center a year ago. "Not a church, but a community," according to its pastor, it has 160 members who have "accepted the covenant" and 100 or so more who attend with some regularity. The members are busy, but not with...
Gibbon was a small man, just over five feet, and so fat that when he knelt to a lady she had to summon a servant to hoist him to his feet. Rather fussily elegant in his dress-flowered velvet suit, lots of ruffles, snuffbox to flutter over-Gibbon exuded a tepid blandness. Joshua Reynolds painted a deadly portrait of him.

...child of the House of Commons, its servant," said Winston Churchill. "All I am I owe to the House of Commons."

The proprieties of this world require that many things be hidden. People are driven to deviant behavior. Mr. Taylor's stories are shadowed by drunkards, bastardly men, spinsters, estranged wives who are dependent on their servants as their only friends, only family, only life. In almost every story a servant holds the family together. The servant presides over the rituals and amenities which bolster status, esteem, sanity-like...
...worst slinging mud. His have been by far the funniest lines of the campaign-and not, as his detractors charge, malapropisms. When Mrs. Fiorello LaGuardia endorsed Lindsay, Mario came up with the observation that "There is no real conflict here: Mayor LaGuardia chose me as a public servant, he chose Marie as his wife." Procaccino also coined the only durable catch-phrase of the campaign, describing the Lindsay set as "limousine liberals...
