...read and reported with relish the findings of the Treasury in the biggest tax cases. He bragged once that he knew within minutes what Senator William Fulbright, then chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, had said at lunch at the Soviet embassy or what Soviet contacts had told other members of Congress at cocktail parties. He insisted that the Soviets were building Viet Nam opposition in Congress and the press. He slapped his thigh with delight when he got a report from the FBI about a prominent Republican Senator who frequented a select Chicago bordello and had some kinky sexual...
Gerald Ford was acting like a real leader. He was the only man in town with a complete economic and energy plan and, whether it will ultimately be judged good or bad, he was moving ahead with relish and considerable skill...
About 1930, however, led by two men who are among the greatest photographers that America has ever produced, Edward Weston and Walker Evans, photographers turned en masse from pictorialism, began to relish the sharpness of a focussed photographic image, and became less formalistic in their work.

And Yum-Yum (Deborah Shaw) was clearly inadequate in places--she sang sweetly, but without sufficient strength...
Weak as they are, the leftist groups are unpredictable, and any of them would relish upsetting Ford's visit. To ensure the President's safety, the Japanese government assigned 10,000 policemen to guard him. In addition an advance party of 40 Secret Service men went over the itinerary, vetoing any ideas that seemed to be too dangerous. Among them was Ford's suggestion that he attend an exhibition baseball game between the New York Mets and a Japanese all-star team. Secret Service men carefully examined Ford's accommodations in the lavish 300-room Akasaka...
