Peep Through the Periscope. And so, on to Miami Beach, where Lyndon delivered a sterilized, above-the-battle, President-of-all-the-people speech to the Machinists, then whisked on up to Cape Kennedy for an unscheduled inspection tour. There he donned a surgical-looking white nylon cap and gown, went through a pre-satellite-shoot "clean room," peered through a periscope at a Saturn rocket being groomed for flight, gave missile workers a few little keeper-of-the-peace pep talks...
...Island of Corsica is notorious for its ill-tempered Cap Corse aperitifs, its vile figatelli sausage, and Napoleon, who left it as soon as he could.

He was there for practice, and he would fight the whole season-with all that was in his body...
...front door, a full-grown black bear strolls out. When the lovers sit on the couch, springs boing in all directions. When they start upstairs, the stairs collapse. When Andy lights a fire, the house fills up with smoke. When he runs to the well for water, the cap collapses, and he lands in the drink. When he tries to barbecue a chicken, flame shoots out of the bird's behind and whoosh! it takes off like a rocket...
