Before the convention was 24 hours old these three had set the side-room bar of the banner-decked Broadway Auditorium buzzing. The bald dome of the President's best Democrat, the old brown derby of his worst Democrat, and the monk-fringed pate of their mutual friend had come together, nodding close in amiable conference. That night in Boss Farley's headquarters at the Hotel Statler Al Smith chewed his cigar from 9 to 1 o'clock while New Deal orders were given.

He entered a monastery near Peiping, took the name Chao Kung, had his hair clipped and the twelve circular brands of the Buddhist wheel of life burned into his bullet pate.
