Serenely set on a hilltop in the village of San Anton, the deluxe Corinthia Palace Hotel is four miles inland from the Mediterranean. Still, the scene within the hotel's gleaming white walls was as diverse as any beneath that calm, bright sea. Delegates scampered through the hotel lobby in bathing trunks just in time to change for the morning sessions.

...nation's longhairs keep running into a formidable obstacle: the U.S. Constitution.

His Boswell-the devoted but officious Anton Schindler-collected them all, then destroyed about 260 as unimportant, uninteresting or, in the case of two books of conversations with a violinist whom Schindler despised, because "they contained the grossest and most boundless criticism of the Kaiser and Crown Prince. . . ."
