...other aides, Connally never took a note, but remembered all. Keeping their plans secret for fear doubts would seep out, they began to sketch out the options open to the President. Yet publicly, they both sounded adamant against controls. Nixon was not at all certain that he actually would bite that bullet. He told a group of editors in Kansas City, Mo., as late as July 6: "You cannot have wage and price controls without rationing. They do not work in peacetime." About the same time, Connally was telling newsmen that there would be no wage-price freeze, no wage...

They steal eggs (whole), gnaw lazy elephants' feet and can kill young lambs...

To explain it, many of her friends go back to a story that began in Cleveland in 1955. Beverly was making her first tour with the New York City Opera. She met Peter B. Greenough, a tall, burly Boston Brahmin who was financial editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a paper partly owned by his family. Peter could do nothing right, or so it seemed. First he winked...
