...White House, Al has never lost his composure," says Leonard Garment, assistant to the President. "He has dealt with the problems of the wounded with both compassion and detachment." In contrast to the closed-door policy of Haldeman, Haig has made the White House more accessible and a more pleasant place in which to work; there is at least a modicum of grace under ferocious pressure. "It's fun to deal with Al," notes a White House aide who is otherwise not enjoying himself much. "You don't get very far knee jerking with...
Raisins are more complicated: if you ate them in your dream, tough luck, because "you can expect a season of cash going out faster than it comes in." If you stuck them in your ear, for instance, or fed them to a janitor, you can count on "pleasant social times ahead."

I asked some questions just to be polite, and he answered with a few words. Every sentence was a strain to get out. I could see how depressed Eisenhower was, and I knew how he felt, but there wasn...
...wife and to his mother. Jacqueline, Kennedy's wife, was a young woman whom the journalists were always describing as a great beauty. She didn't impress me as having that special, brilliant beauty which can haunt men, but she was youthful, energetic and pleasant, and I liked her very much. She knew how to make jokes and was, as our people say, quick with her tongue. In other words, she had no trouble finding the right word to cut you short if you weren't careful with her. My own conversation with her consisted of nothing...
