...LL.D.: "With soft-spoken charm, you have circled the globe to develop the industry and agriculture of less fortunate peoples." Next day Banker Black, smiling broadly, turned up in Princeton.

Marples himself still rides around London on a fancy green eight-speed-gear bicycle. Once, when he flew back from a U.S. trip, his wife met him at London Airport. To make up for the exercise he had missed in America, they tramped the 15 miles home. Their fine Georgian mansion in Belgravia has a two-way frontdoor microphone, three dining rooms, and a $7,000 kitchen where Marples cooks midnight snacks for fellow Ministers ("After all, cooking's no art-merely applying heat to food...
