Corridors of Power (novel) Corridors of Power (novel) Corridors of Power is the ninth book in C. P. Snow's "Strangers and Brothers" series. Its title had become a household phrase referring to the centres of government and power after Snow coined it in his earlier novel, "Homecomings". (A slightly rueful Foreword to "Corridors of Power" expresses the hope that he is at least entitled to use his own cliché.) "Corridors of Power" is concerned with the attempts of an English MP to influence the country's policy on nuclear weapons in the 1950s. The central character is Roger Quaife, an ambitious politician and Cabinet Minister.
The Headmaster (book) The Headmaster (book) The Headmaster: Frank L. Boyden of Deerfield is a 1966 book by John McPhee, profiling Frank Boyden, the long-time headmaster of Deerfield Academy, which grew out of a magazine profile in "The New Yorker". The "Kirkus" review called the book an "effortless portrait" and wrote that it was "much more interesting" than Roger Drury's "Drury of St. Paul's" (1964). The "Boston Globe" review noted that the book was not only a depiction of Boyden, but also "a record of the touching and memorable partnership of a man and his wife."
