...fired up, then No. 4; he gangbarred the other six simultaneously. In 45 seconds, all eight fires were roaring. Outside, crewmen hustled around disconnecting external power units. At exactly 11:04-four minutes after the klaxon-Bulli was ready for taxiing. If command post should signal a Coco alert, Bulli would start rolling for the runway. A call of Juliet or Romeo would send him into the air by 11:07 (well ahead of the 15-minute maximum requirement) to 40,000 feet-plus...
...commander of the rebel barricades in the heart of Algiers, Lagaillarde wore his old paratroop uniform, sported a short paratrooper beard, was often accompanied by his second wife, a flashy blonde schoolteacher named Janine, but called "Coco."

In a baffling statement of first principles, the woman who banished the waistline, eliminated hips and deflated the bosom, announced: "The most important thing is to look feminine." Confusing the issue still...
...Hagerty relay by radio-telephone optimistic reports from Canberra. White House Physician Howard Snyder found the President coughing only occasionally. His head cold was easing, his inflamed left ear cleared. So much better was Ike feeling that he stripped off his jacket, lazily drove golf-balls from a coco mat into a canvas shield stretched down the starboard side of Canberra's open deck while the ship lolled nearly dead in tropic water. He ducked into bed at 9 o'clock, stayed abed nearly twelve hours, rose for a late breakfast (prunes, oatmeal, toast and jelly, Sanka...
