...voice over the loud speaker at Paul's Mall resonates clearly. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Taj Mahal." Mr. Taj Mahal? The name sounds pretentious enough. I can't help but wonder how many people in the world have been similarly introduced as Mr. Westminister Abbey. Ms. Parthenon, Dr. Eiffel Tower or Mrs. Coliseum. But as soon as the lights come on and the man struts on stage, all preconceived doubts about Mr. Taj Mahal are quickly erased. His presence is charged with a playfulness that know of no pretentions and his music oozes with the mmmmmmmmmmm...
Ford did not come like a god as Dwight Eisenhower did. There was little of the elegance that John Kennedy exuded in his triumphal march through Paris. There were none of those hilarious outrages which Lyndon Johnson relished, like yahooing in the Taj Mahal, passing out plastic busts of himself or, after viewing some of the best of Germany's modern art, asking if he couldn't pick up a dozen or so cut-rate paintings of beer- hall scenes for his Secret ServiceI agents.

"It's not as if we started with the Taj Mahal, and tried to give the women a few wings in it," one Harvard administrator says...
...long ago, Mr. Nixon said that the tapes were defective because the administration did not spend enough for a sophisticated system--the same administration that spent more than enough to convert San Clemente into the Taj Mahal. If the country believes that excuse, or takes the tapes as surely accurate, or accepts the myth that the tapes alone can determine Mr. Nixon's guilt or innocence, then we will have a resounding answer to a twenty-year-old question: "Would you buy a used car from this man?" The answer will be that a majority of the American people would...
