...never have enough concern. Sitting monarchs and Presidents, for example. Two weeks ago Ronald Reagan incurred a "small, red bump" on his eyelid (caused by a contact lens). You could read about it on page 3 of the Washington Post. A classic of the genre is an item that ran in the New York Times a couple of years ago: GLASS CUTS KISSINGER'S NOSE. Only a nick really, and he'd been out of power for nine years...

There George Shrill, his favorite neoroyalist columnist, was quoting Thucydides in the original Greek to argue that the 13 states needed the firm hand of a minor German princeling as monarch to quell "the unseemly clamor of mobocracy." A gossip item on the entertainment page provided Madison with his only chuckle of the morning: a Harrisburg film producer claimed to have signed Ben Franklin to portray God in an upcoming comedy...
