Laughing Exit. Across the Potomac at Boiling Air Force Base that afternoon, the Pentagon sped Talbott's departure with one of the fanciest farewells in Washington's history.

He not only covers the fanciest parties and loudest brawls, but his columns also include such items as: "When the Jelke trial opens-the chi chi neighbors along 72nd Street will hear all about the $300-a-month apartment [call] girls operated there."
