...attractive grave hardness," was an antidote to Dylan, who had been so finicky that he could pull an "all-out faint" at the sight of a mouse, and was "as useless as a penguin with his hands." In part, it was a Latin love call that Caitlin could not resist ("those wonderful whirlpools of dankly greasy, black grass hair, that it was an insult to the Creator not to fondle"). Caitlin recalls every turn of their sometimes amusing, often pathetic affair. Elba proved as strait-laced as Laugharne, Wales, and the time came when the hissed words "Prostituta, prostituta" sounded...
...Swayduck saw technological changes-rotary instead of flatbed presses, metal instead of stone plates, new color-printing techniques-lead to more and more jobs for lithographers at higher and higher pay (now $125 to $200 for a 35-hour week).

It takes a firm hand and steady nerves to face a small-war challenge, to resist the outcries against atomic weapons, and to confront the enemy with the choice of backing down or risking all-out war. Raising the prospect of such a challenge in advance is Kissinger's important service. At a time when public apathy, disarmament talk and budget-mindedness are being felt...
