They found that if he were removed from office by conviction in the Senate, he would get a pension of only about $12,000 a year, due to him because of his 18 years' Government service as a Naval officer, Congressman and Vice President. If he left voluntarily, he would also get the normal presidential pension of $60,000 a year, plus up to $96,000 annually to maintain a staff and office.

Either then and there, or later when we returned to Moscow, we decided to stop keeping...

Long lines of cars began to snake backward at the border crossings, as Yugoslav guards suddenly began punctilious examinations of every vehicle entering or leaving Zone B. After Italian and U.S. forces joined in NATO naval exercises off the Adriatic coast, Belgrade mustered its own armada in a countershow of force.
