...pays nominally $40,000, but because of economy, actually $22,500 a year- more than the U. S. pays members of the Supreme-Court or the Cabinet, more than any State save one pays its Governor (New York's Governor gets $25,000). It involves trying to please more constituents than the Governors of the 14 least populous States have all together. It is the job of Mayor of New York City...

...home he asserted himself by arguing with the Queen that the children should be allowed a little more choice about marrying. Max had fallen in love with a church social worker, who put him to work scrubbing floors. When the Cabinet learned she was the daughter of their worst enemy, the Archbishop, they threatened to resign unless the King did something about it.
