...Tell me, is she good?" the husband inquires softly over a glass of bourbon. The lover looks astonished. "You seem to have a very nice apartment. Could I see it?" "Are you a little perverse?" the lover asks dubiously, but he takes his visitor on a tour. The sight of an old anniversary present in the lover's bedroom is too much even for the husband's reserve.

He loves getting dirt under his fingernails." Baker adds that Dirksen "likes to sit out on the terrace with a bourbon in one hand and a BB gun in the other to shoo the squirrels away from the seeds he puts out for the birds." The Dirksens resist dinner invitations, and keep their own entertaining informal. One fellow Senator had to cook his own chicken at a Dirksen party, and guests...
