But an all-but-sacred presidential duty awaited him-an hour later he was at Washington's Griffith Stadium to throw out the first baseball of the season. Rest had improved his color. He spat on his right hand, grinned, and sent a new white baseball flying to the field, watched the game for an inning and a half (with Washington's Pitcher Connie Marrero standing...

In 1946, a shipment of penicillin, ordered in the U.S. by an unnamed representative of the Knights, turned out to contain not only drugs but radios and other luxury goods, which the Knights' diplomatic immunity had got past Italian customs. Not long afterward, five shiploads of Argentine wheat, intended for the Knights' charitable institutions, went astray.
