...time 15 eagles were perched in the Oval Office. Eagles on the rug, on the flagpoles, on the walls. Their population and prominence have been considerably reduced. The pervasive influence in the decor now is Abraham Lincoln. There is a statuette of young Abe standing serenely on a pedestal against the wall. Looking out over the office from the bookshelves is a bust of Lincoln sculpted by Leonard Volk in about 1880. This is the creased and concerned President who held the nation together. In the hall just outside the office is a larger bust of Lincoln, a melancholy visage...
...return to Argentina, the Millses resolved to honor her with a Sunday evening bon voyage party. But Mrs. Mills had broken her foot. Said Mills: "She insisted that I take our friends to a public place we had frequented before."

And its quiet old-fashioned atmosphere is a pleasant contrast to Brigham's jazzy red-white-and blue decor and canned music. Part of a small chain in business since 1873, the store offers seven basic flavors plus flavors of the month. The chocolate chip is particularly good. All cones are 45 cents, pints 95 cents and quarts...
