...Voice. While their words spread out across their world, John, 59, and Mike Cowles, 55, hold two or three half-hour phone calls a week, brief each other on their sessions with distinguished friends. They seldom need to coordinate editorial viewpoints. John may be closer to the famous-Nehru, Eden, Eisenhower -and Mike may lead a more spectacular private life: his present wife is his fourth; his third was tempestuous Fleur Cowles, editor of the avant-gaudy monthly Flair, which failed after twelve issues in 1951. But with identical backgrounds (Exeter, Harvard, Des Moines city rooms), the two brothers think...
There are serpents in this artificial Eden. As foreigners, they are plagued by spies and boredom. As one character sums it up: "Too many ruddy parties. Too many wives-too much nattering over canasta, coffee and so on . . ."

He cites the familiar myth of Europa and the bull as an example of this process: the Greeks developed the patriarchal Zeus cult at the expense of the once sovereign "Moon-goddess" by interpreting a Cretan icon of the "Goddess dominating the Minos Bull by riding on its back, as though Zeus, in bull disguise, were carrying...
Into this office had come such notables as Actor Raymond Massey, Financier and ex-Diplomat Joseph P. Kennedy and his Senator son John, and choleric Columnist Westbrook Pegler. When Sir Anthony Eden visited the clinic for surgery last year, it was Dr. Jordan who did the vital diagnostic work on which the surgeons' lifesaving decision was based...
