He could remember Queen Marie of Rumania's being presented with an honorary headdress by the Dakota Indians and telling her lady in waiting to "get rid of that damned thing." He remembered lean Eamon De Valera, clad in long underwear, donning huge boxing gloves and sparring with his bull-necked secretary in a sitting room of the old Waldorf. It sometimes seems that Fowler...
