...Marchais has made a mockery of his much-touted ability to keep the Communists under control. Last week there was talk that the Socialist leader, now 61, might be headed for retirement. Still, in his 32-year political career, he has frequently exhibited a talent, reminiscent of Richard Nixon's, for bouncing back from defeat. But even if Mitterrand should survive as his party's leader, he remains an improbable candidate for cohabitation with the President, who dislikes him. That situation, at least, seems beyond Giscard's remarkable powers of revitalization-even in the warm, budding days...
...roll was called was one of awe. Rarely is a vote so important that those present fall into such a silence, and there has not been one in Congress like this since the House Judiciary Committee, in a similar hush, voted the first article of impeachment against Richard Nixon...

Walker (arrested in a Dallas men's room in 1976 for public lewdness), and Pat Nixon ("stress-related stroke"). This is simply idle, and a spongy chapter relating the life of New York City's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who was neither an immigrant nor a name changer but is gathered into Morgan's embrace anyway, is not much better...
