...Goldwater's left was "Whisky Row," dominated by the historic Palace Saloon, which still does a thriving business. Straight ahead was a bronze equestrian statue of "Bucky" O'Neill, a onetime Yavapai County sheriff who served as one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough-riders. Barry is fond of saying that Bucky was the first American to fall in the charge up San Juan Hill.

"Paris is mine!" he cries...
...spurns subtlety but makes the shortcoming seem a solid gold asset in a character who boasts: "I'm a vulgar, extravagant nouveau riche American!" She even works slick, if slightly unnerving, pathos into a moment of pining over her wedding ring, a jewel-encrusted cigar band bearing the fond inscription: "Always Remember Two Things-That I Love You, and the Name of the Bank...
