Never in Public. His name was Harry Gerguson alias Arthur Wellesley alias Count Gladstone alias Prince Michael Alexandrovitch Dmitry Obolensky Romanoff, cousin and occasionally half brother of Nicholas II, last Czar of all the Russias. After preparing at Eton, he had been to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Heidelberg, Oxford and Cambridge. Since, in fact, he was born in the New York area of indeterminate parentage, he always refused to speak Russian in public. But he was scrupulously elegant, with a camel's hair accent and a mill-racing brain. He lived on both coasts of North America and made occasional...
Rurmors, however, of very high expenditures and inaccurate reporting, especially in the senatorial campaigns of Edward "Ted" M.

Orson Welles has presumably buffed her up further as the nymphomaniac Leni in his still unreleased version of Franz Kafka's The Trial...

The Russian backdown over Cuba was a tonic to the market, and it was followed by a series of surprisingly strong economic indicators suggesting that a recession was not just around the corner, after all. Some Wall Streeters also count heavily on the extra lift that the economy should get from a tax cut next year. They also believe that the Administration's mounting deficits should set off the kind of inflation that boosts stock prices (because investors then move heavily into common stocks to protect their depreciating dollars...
...such a routine symptom of our culture that we are prepared for that utopian mental health survey finding that one-third of us are psychotic, one-third neurotic and one-third cured or in treatment. But, when we ask subjects to describe their own reaction or when we count the objective behavioral events there is no reason to believe that consciousness-expanding drug experiences are any more dangerous than psychoanalysis or a four year enrollment in Harvard College...
