...more than four years two oily half-brothers have intermittently engaged the attention of the U. S. public. Their names are Teapot Dome and Elk Hills and their resemblance is close enough to make them almost twins. Teapot Dome, however, resulted from a collaboration between onetime (1921-23) Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, oilman; Elk Hills proceeded from an association between Mr. Fall and Edward L. Doheny, also an oilman. So they have constituted two distinct, though parallel cases which in 1923 spread a sticky mess over the Harding Administration and cheered many Democrats...

...marble mansion, President Coolidge stood with his white collie, Rob Roy, posed for photographers, followed the dog over the threshold into his new home. Through the huge foyer he walked, past the costly Gobelin tapestry at his left, up the marble stairway lined with heads of mountain goats, lions, elk and caribou. Into the large room next to the library that is to be his workshop he stepped, paused, smiled at friendly objects: his desk, his favorite chair, many of his books, all brought carefully from the White House. Here he may work when he wishes to stay at home...
