...normally take well to lecturings from their juniors, but they were very interested in hearing this one. The "youngest Republican," as he cheerfully proclaims himself, was Big John Connally-five months young as a registered member of the G.O.P., but about as politically junior as Boss Tweed in his heyday. The audience loved...

(Americans usually buy the cheapest.) At the Pathek-Philippe factory in Geneva, Japanese queue up to buy watches for as much as $5,000 apiece...
