There was not even live television or radio coverage of one of the most muted-and one of the earliest-declarations by a U.S. President that he was an active, eager candidate to retain his office. But Gerald Ford wanted to play it that way, conveying the image of just plain Jerry, hard at work and determined. Seated at his desk in the Oval Office, backed by four campaign aides, he read a brief, low-key statement in a firm, confident voice. Said the President: "I intend...

Phillips Oppenheim, the authors will be unfamiliar to all but cultists. Even the worst of them, though, retain a kind of campy charm. For if the paraphernalia of detection have not changed much over the past 100 years, the women clearly have. In The Stir Outside the Café Royal (1898), demure Miss Van Snoop captures a notorious murderer and then weeps for 30 minutes. Observes the author: "She had earned the luxury of hysterics...
