Love's long leap can be confusing, too. One playboy is said to have phoned a young friend in Rio to invite her over for a weekend, neglecting to say where he was calling from. She blew into his Paris apartment half a day later, only to find that her host was in Rome. No matter. She hopped another jet, was in Rome in two hours...
...Playboy Antics." After whittling down the dollars, the Senators had some strong opinions on how the remaining money should be used. Minority Whip Tom Kuchel proposed that no funds should go to nations that try to assert exclusive fishing rights beyond the three-mile off-shore limit recognized by the U.S. "What has happened off the coast of South America is positively shocking," said Alaska's Democratic Senator Ernest Gruening, referring to harassment of U.S. fishermen by Ecuador, Chile and Peru.

It was his genius to vibrate like a tuning fork to the music of his time. When the '20s died on Black Thursday of 1929 and the times went bad, Fitzgerald went sour with them. Although he wrote better, he was on the wrong note; having been monstrously overrewarded for his early tripe, he was cruelly undervalued when-after heroic effort...
