...Eisenhower moves constantly in and out of the White House. Last week, ready to accompany Ike to a Washington dinner, Milton wheeled his black, air-conditioned Imperial sedan into the White House driveway. Once or twice a week, he makes the 45-minute drive from Johns Hopkins to Washington. Often he stays overnight, and the Upstairs Red Room (so called to distinguish it from the main-floor parlor known as the Red Room) is generally kept ready for him. In the privacy of the presidential bedroom, the brothers can unbend over a drink or two-Scotch and soda...
Machines draw on cigarettes less frequently, often smoke less tobacco than a fast-puffing, heavy smoker-just the man who needs protection most.

Says a Detroit buyer: "Did you ever hear of warm, comfortable, fashionable glamour? Well, this...
...CHILDREN UNDER 14 FREE, says a sign at one hotel. But the most truly horrible part of the book is the intimate fashion in which the reader is made to see how from a monstrous relationship a kind of shadow of a good life emerges. Humbert, the false father, often becomes a truly tender pseudo parent; Lolita, the perverted child, becomes a true innocent. In the end-to Humbert's great agony-she is pregnant and happy with a young, goonlike husband. She has escaped, but there is no escape for Humbert. He seeks out a rich, pansy-type...
