...Constitution says that a Senator must be 30 years of age. Yet Mr. Holt expects to get to the Senate because: 1) the Constitution also says that the Senate shall be the judge of the elections and qualifications of its members and New Deal Senators are strict constructionists when the Constitution conflicts with party desires; 2) one other Senator, the famed Henry Clay, elected from Kentucky in 1806, took office when he was still five months short of 30. Should Rush Holt try to follow in Clay's footsteps, however, there may be trouble, for many a lawyer contends that...

Reverent before tradition. Author Mann never meddles with the main outline of the Biblical story, but he expands its abbreviated prehistory into an appearance of the present, concentrates its bald chronicle of events into a human reality. No strict-interpretationist of the Scriptures, he does not hesitate to contradict or supplement the original account in matters of minor fact. Thus he says that Jacob's only daughter Dinah was older, not younger, than her brothers Issachar and Zebulun; suggests that Isaac was well aware that he was blessing Jacob instead of Esau; asserts that Jacob demonstrably served...
