...Holy Joe" McKee tried hard to renounce ALL party affiliations, including his connection with his next-door neighbor, Bronx Boss Flynn. He had previously told reporters that if they saw him on the 29th floor of the Lincoln Building, he would not be going to see Flynn but to rest in another friend's neighboring office. He promised to reduce the budget "by instituting real economies," abolish duplicating departments in the city government by having the charter revised, unify the subway system to provide an honest 5? fare.

...French table d"hÓte, illustrated French and English magazines less than ten days old, bedrooms with electric light. Bidon 5 is a gasoline pump, "a white-enamelled pillar identical with those you see along any road in Long Island or Westchester or in front of your next-door garage-except that it stands there in the sand, in the midst of nothingness, in the almost exact geographical centre of the Sahara, stuck there like a pictorial infantile idea of the North Pole, the most lonely and isolated gasoline pump in the world or the universe...
