...weight and his secretary. The wife has suspected as much: "You were working three nights a week-we weren't getting any richer." She seems put out that her husband had no more enterprise than to pick his secretary as bedmate. Along with the jesting banter and bitchiness of the much married comes a feeling of poignancy for two people who find that love, like the sand in a thousand breakfast egg timers...
...coaches extend to 9 or 10, after which K-32 becomes boisterously alive for an hour or so. Lights invariably go off before 11:30. Hours for study have to be grabbed on the run, but not in K-32. The room is reserved for light-hearted but loud banter, along with Temptations albums, screams from the Monopoly and Football Strategy boards, and cries of "Louie," "Bo," "Horse," and "Manny...
...this patchwork Smith wants to weave a new Roosevelt-like alliance.

Though he has the hands-behind-the-back stance and long stride of his father, he lacks Prince Philip's talent for light banter. Prince Charles is, in fact, shy, withdrawn and, like his mother, painfully reserved. In his first week at Cambridge, he made no attempts to get to know fellow students, walked around the college grounds alone with his head down. He will probably mix eventually; after five years at Cheam, then five more at his father...
