...easily disposed of. Complaints in 1832 about the Sodality's serenading led the University to ask the four members to resign, but Henry Gassett '34, the flute player, refused. For two years he met with himself, wrote up the minutes, played to himself, paid dues, and probably drank with himself.

Sir Winston ate and drank as heartily as ever. When he reported feeling ill that afternoon, the physician who usually treats him at Monte Carlo, Dr. David M. Roberts, thought it might be indigestion.

Three times police spotted Christine aimlessly wandering Westchester County highways at night in jeans and sneakers; three times they packed her back home. "She was unhappy, but she never said just why," observed a girl friend. "Maybe she was lacking in love and affection at home," suggested Patrolman Daniel Rosato, who picked her up in November, handcuffed her when she scratched...
