...tactical, necessitating a flexible NATO equipped with a "fire brigade" capable of quelling brushfire wars in Europe or Africa. During the campaign, Gavin offered Kennedy foreign policy recommendations by mail, sold himself as a potential diplomat with flair rather than experience, was pushed for Paris by Kennedy's Georgetown friend and neighbor. Bill Walton. Kennedy's design may be to match one obstreperous general with another (Gavin knows De Gaulle slightly), but the Quai d'Orsay was discreetly baffled by the appointment. So, less discreetly, were State Department regulars. Since Paris is one of the most expensive...
Clanging snowplows and a small army of shovelers shattered Georgetown's calm one morning last week as they attacked the big drifts in front of the home of New York Herald Tribune Reporter Rowland Evans. Inquisitive neighbors turned out to wonder how Evans rated such meticulous attention from District of Columbia street cleaners. Neighbor George Herman, a CBS correspondent, tried to urge the men to go on and shovel his driveway.

Inside Out. Both Kennedys seemed determined to remake their new home to their own tastes. By the time the two children, Caroline and John Jr., got home from their Palm Beach vacations, Jackie had their rooms ready.

Now old Joe Kennedy and his wife Rose rented a P Street home for a tidy $200 a day. Ted Kennedy and his wife took overa place just across the way, next to the Christian Herters. Kennedy Sisters Eunice Shriver...
Friend in a Hurry. On the morning before Inauguration Day, the light had just begun to creep down Georgetown's N Street when a motorcycle messenger clattered to a stop beneath Jack Kennedy's shuttered window. Awakened by the noise, the President-to-be rose, looked out, grimaced and went back to bed. A little later, the motorcyclist returned, and Kennedy called down to the Secret Service man on guard and asked for quiet. The guard shooed the driver away; but soon newsmen began to gather, and Kennedy abandoned his bed, snapped on his light and got dressed...
