...been trying to get a big-name Democrat, or at least a big name, for the ambassadorship to the United Nations. The post is not technically of Cabinet rank, but since the Eisenhower Administration it has had a quasi-Cabinet cachet.

"Soon I will be back out there," the patient thought to himself, "where there are real battles to fight, instead of the false battles in this etherized hell." With that though, he forgave his fear, and thought of women, and of whiskey...
