...Doig is tall and skinny and if I remember correctly he has a mole somewhere on his long face. He is of Scottish descent and he laughs loud and deep at things that are only vaguely funny. He smokes a pipe all day long; if you catch him at any time after eleven o'clock in the morning you will find that he stinks from the odor of tobacco...
When a Communist-led mob attacked the car of Richard Nixon in Caracas in 1958, smashing its windows and battering its doors and roof with rocks and lengths of pipe, one of the dozen Secret Service agents who risked his life to save the then Vice President was an erect, athletic man named H.

They have no discernible source of power and no visible moving parts, though at least one of them (The Rippe 1921 Virgin Gas Engine...
...other personal possessions remain where they were. His shirts are still stacked neatly in his bedroom drawers, his suits hang in his dressing room closet. His toilet things are spread in his bathroom. His desk is ready for instant use, with ample supplies of paper clips, pipe cleaners, pens and pencils and different inks. His favorite photographs (23 of the duchess alone) stand on his mantel and bookcases, all exactly as he left them. Every night the duchess comes to his bedroom before retiring to her own. She makes sure that everything is in place, then says aloud: "Good night...
