...more money Sage accumulated, the more he wanted. But he dressed like a man who had just come from a rummage sale: shiny serge jacket, frayed grey vest, floppy black trousers, and square-toed brogans. One day a demented broker marched into Sage's office. In one hand he held a note demanding that Sage give him $1,200,000; in the other hand he held a bag of dynamite. Sage eased a visitor between himself and the dynamite, dashed for the exit. When the smoke cleared away, the broker was dead, the visitor was badly mangled, Sage...
...shall never forget that day. He sat in the cabin of Air Force One, a scant few minutes after the assassination, solemn, grim, his face an unyielding mask. All around him everyone was in various states of shock, nearing collapse. But the new President sat there, like a large grey stone mountain, untouched by fear or frenzy, from whom everyone began to draw strength. And suddenly, as though the darkness of the cave confided its fears to the trail of light growing larger as it banished the night, the nation's breath, held tightly in its breast, began...
...Lotus Elite in a ten-lap race at Brands Hatch, found himself involved in "a whale of a dice" with another Elite driven by a persistent, mustachioed fellow who bore a striking resemblance to Actor David Niven. His competitor, it later turned out, was Colin Chapman -a young, prematurely grey engineer who had graduated from London University in 1948, set up shop in 1952 as Lotus Cars, Ltd. For eight of the ten laps, Jim managed to stay in front. Then an Austin-Healey Sprite grazed his Lotus on a corner. Jim had all he could do to avoid plowing...
...Rochas herself wore $250,000 worth of diamonds to decorate her egret-plumed Guy Laroche gown. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Begum Aga Khan, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford and all the other jet-set guests showed up in ascots, ostrich feathers and grey top hats. "There was not an egret plume or a false moustache to be had in Paris that evening," purred Mme. Rochas happily. Celebrating a sort of Eliza Doolittle Night in La Grande Cascade Restaurant in the Bois, the glittering Edwardians could have danced all night-and did, until...
...fussy posturing as a Parisian fashion editor. He is supposedly irresistible to women, and they to him. So he delays marrying a determined fraülein (Romy Schneider), consults a sex-crazed Viennese analyst (Peter Sellers), and calls forth memories of his sexual prowess, filmed appropriately in dull blue-grey hues. When O'Toole isn't reminiscing, he is bedding or about to bed Romy, a Crazy Horse stripper (Paula Prentiss), a groundling nymphomaniac (Capucine) or a nymphomaniac who descends by parachute (Ursula Andress). Sellers dresses up his cliche role with a pageboy wig and temper tantrums...
