Peace quickly became a rosy success. During the war, the Meillands had barely managed to hang on to a remnant of their rose-growing business near Lyon. Now, with royalties pouring in from the U.S., they were able to buy a chunk of expensive land on the Riviera and make a fresh start. In less than a decade, the Peace rose was blossoming on some 30 million bushes throughout the world. "How strange to think," wrote Francis Meilland in his diary, "that all these millions of rosebushes sprang from a tiny seed no bigger than the head...
Waddling around on feet that by all rights ought to be webbed, Oscar Madison is the slop-happiest hero in history. In midsummer, Christmas stockings still hang over his hearth, and his refrigerator is cleaned so seldom that he has milk standing up in there without the bottle.

Hanging many of the works in richly carved frames...
...Last Ounce. The Vice President seemed to be collecting all those who were remaining loyal to Lyndon, and then some. Humphrey backers claimed to be rolling up commitments of support in several Western states. Enough big campaign contributors are available to spare him the financial hang-ups he suffered during his 1960 bid for the nomination. County conventions in Minnesota, hitherto believed safe territory for McCarthy, chose enough Humphrey-leaning representatives to the June state convention to assure the Vice President of a large majority of the state's 52 delegate votes in August. The executive board...
