...during the year. We find that he follows the sun to Palm Beach during the winter months, follows the sun to Pine Valley during the spring months, follows the shade to Camden, Maine, during the summer months, and follows the tourist guides in Europe during the cool months of autumn, And he always has. Does it pay this man to have his name adorn the divers mastheads of so many different companies? Certainly! He collects five dollars here, one thousand dollars there, fifty thousand dollars for the privilege of lending his rubber-stamped cognomen to the men who actually...
Outward Courtesy. The week's resumed negotiations had begun bleakly enough, with none of the smiles and handshakes that had characterized the autumn meetings. No one greeted Kissinger when he arrived at the Communist villa in exurban Gif-sur-Yvette on the first morning, and he had to open the door himself.

It was all so affably amateurish, like a transistorized rummage sale, that one gave...
...fixed place of residence, soon learns what a burden erudition is. Obligated, several times a year, to transport his entire library from one apartment to another, he develops the habit of regarding it as an object, like furniture, to be packed up, unused and unread, each summer. When autumn arrives, the volumes are unveiled again, examined, and placed on the shelves...
