Over the years, the 100-room Cavendish had become Mayfair's best-stocked curiosity shop. It was crammed with mauve and red plush sofas, chairs, beds and chests, mostly of vast age and hideousness, and almost all associated with the ancient indiscretions of the illustrious that flowed from Rosa's memory like champagne from "cherrybums," as she called the Jeroboams that were consumed by the case. Her walls, lined with signed pictures, were a 'Oo Was 'Oo of her times...
...DeWolfe and Grant Sts., and on Quincy St. between the Fogg Museum and the Faculty Club. In addition, Cronin's was found on Dunster St. Before they left, members of the Class would be the first to enter Quincy House; would use the 11-story Leverett Towers and plush Loeb Drama Center; and would see the beginnings of LeCorbusier's Visual Arts Center.

She showed equal sense when it turned out that a royal expedition to the famed Keukenhof tulip fields would have to buck traffic jams swollen by a European soccer cup final in Amsterdam. Instead of sending her guests by car or state coach, Juliana packed them into three buses, each specially equipped with a bar. and the riders...
...forces in South Vietnam seem to be trying everything short of outright fighting to stem the growing strength of the guerilla revolt. But plush relocation camps to concentrate the peasants and helicopter supply lifts cannot sustain unpopular President Diem's rule without direct U.S. military support. Even such military action, however, would be likely to succeed only in the distant future. If U.S. policy continues, as guerilla fighting spreads and more American troops pour into Vietnam, the U.S. will doubtless be involved, in a shooting capacity, with a long and messy jungle...
