Immediately after Election Day, O'Brien drew an arduous assignment: checking the qualifications, background, weak points and strong suits of nearly 10,000 prospective officials in the new Administration. One afternoon in Palm Beach, going over the lists of names with O'Brien, Kennedy casually notified him of his new job: "By the way, I think this role of congressional liaison is for you." As a graduate of both houses, Kennedy gave O'Brien a warning against the pitfalls of intimacy. "In politics," the President-elect told him, "you don't have friends. You have allies...

The play delivers the infant Virginia Dare, also delivers some tentative speculation on what happened to the settlers: forced to choose between surrender to a Spanish warship and taking their chances elsewhere in the unknown country, they elect the footpath in the wilderness that will lead to freedom, or death...

He got only lukewarm encouragement from Nixon. Ike also was cool, but told...

Led by agile Wicket-keeper Trevor Cowdell, 15, and Captain-elect John Wells, 14. Lanfranc's cricket team was unbeatable, the best in all Surrey. Sixteen-year-old Reggie Chappie won a Surrey schoolboy boxing Championship. Fourteen-year-old Quentin Green made a memorably squeaky-voiced page in Lanfranc's production of Romeo and Juliet. But for 34 Lanfrancians, the best was yet to be: a school-sponsored camping trip in the rugged highlands of Norway...
