Darby's chief regrets now are for the lost opportunities to fill out presidential foursomes at bridge and golf. On a campaign trip in 1952, Candidate Eisenhower invited Darby to play a rubber of bridge, but Darby pretended that he did not play. "I was certain I'd pull some boner that would forever mark me in Ike's book as a man not to be trusted," he says.

From May to October the "bus" leagues zigzagged across the U.S. Their buses were rolling dormitories: seats, aisles and luggage racks did double duty as beds. Often there was no time for a meal stop, and sometimes no restaurant would serve a colored team. Then the players would carve up a big bologna and make sandwiches as they rolled along. Eating money, when Campy started...
