...Vacant Chair. Wan, drawn, and wearing an ankle-length mink coat, Evita attended the main act of the brief inaugural. Riding in the presidential limousine to the Congress building, she sat at her husband's side in the vice president's traditional place-the place she would have occupied in her own right had army opposition not forced withdrawal of her nomination last year.

It's at the Metropolitan Club, from the retired administrator stepping out of a cab, or the head of a Government agency pulling off his coat in the lobby, or the Senator on his way up in the elevator to the bar, that he learns whether his words have hit a mark. A Washington column is the record of conversations among very important persons...
