...employed his wife as full-time secretary and cook. He doted on hunting, fishing, poker and pungent Mexican cigars, loved his sour-mash bourbon and glorified convivial nipping as "striking a blow for liberty." Many a blow was struck with congressional leaders of both parties and with his protégés, Sam Rayburn and Wilbur Mills. In those backroom meetings of what he called the "Board of Education," Garner usually got his way, and Rayburn continued them as Speaker. Above all, Cactus Jack kept his word, which he characteristically called "staying hitched...
Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), a protégé of Madame du Barry's who was appointed one of Louis XV's official architects in 1773, designed a spherical county ranger's house, 50 royal toll houses and observation posts, and a workers city for the state-owned saltworks of the Franche-Comté.

...usual, your pseudointellectual, leftist "enlightened Republicanism" has placed a misfit on top. Wishful thinking.

Reagan is a clean top choice. Rockefeller as a vice-presidential candidate would be a necessary evil to carry votes of the misled...
Though he was not anxious to lose his protégé, Brandt could hardly object to Schütz's return to Berlin. Schütz quickly made it clear that he, has little faith in Albertz's plan to rebuild West Berlin prosperity by turning the city into a center for trade and cultural exchange between East and West. Not that he is against "building bridges," said Schütz, but he is unwilling to pay the price the Communists demand for their cooperation. The East Germans want West Berlin turned into a "Free City" without...
Leader of the fight for continued commonwealth ties is Luis Munoz Marin, 69, a near-legendary figure among the island's ibaros (peasants). The country's first elected Governor (1948), Munoz retired three years ago in favor of his protégé, Roberto Sanchez Vilella, but has remained a powerful force in favor of the commonwealth. When Governor Sanchez doomed his political career last March by spurning his wife of 31 years in favor of a comely aide, Muñoz took over the Popular Democratic Party's drive to retain common wealth status. Ever since...
