...bridal suite immediately was tripled, and the arriving oil-rich redskins always were installed there with sly but obsequious ceremony. Like most Western legends, this one is of dubious authenticity, but it is a fact that for close on to half a century, the sprawling Broadmoor, whose facilities meander over 5,000 acres just west of looming Pikes Peak, has attracted some millionaire Indians as well as a succession of U.S. Presidents, gold-plated Texans, royal personages of varying distinction, business tycoons, theatrical celebrities and battalions of generals and retired generals. Actually, though it maintains an agreeably old-fashioned...
Anyone who has lived in an upper- suburb already knows Richard Rovere's Barry Goldwater. He the man-at-the-backyard-barbecue, , good-natured, gadget-ridden: pleasant person to chat with in the afternoon. But one knows better to let politics meander into the conversation, for geniality will soon way to deadly serious declamations about Creeping Socialism, Communism Within Our Gates, the Fall the Roman Empire, the Sanctity Private Property--followed by an embarrassed grin and a question about your golf game...
Balkanized Continent. Tsiranana, of course, was denounced as a neocolonialist stooge. Next on the list of outspoken orators was Ghana's leftist Kwame Nkrumah.

As they meander through Oxford together, their languid adventures seem more pathetic than comic-for the good reason that they belong to a world that disappeared just about the time Evelyn was writing its obituary. It is a little like seeing Buster Keaton hurl a custard pie into empty...
...Orleans, spanning swamps and lowlands to hug the shore. Illinois' U.S. 20 crosses the bridge when it comes to it, rolls on past Ulysses Grant's home and Savanna's white pines. Motorists in northern Wisconsin can bid farewell to U.S. 51 near Woodruff and meander along State Highway 70 through country so studded with lakes that the road seems a bridge, and so rich in woods that they spill right up to the road's edge until the turnoff at Eagle River onto U.S. 45. U.S. 460 in Indiana meanders over hills only a spit...
