...latest paintings: a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, copied from an 1863 photograph. Early Christmas morning, the President, with his wife and mother-in-law, left the gaily decked White House, drove through the silent, deserted streets of Washington, and flew off to Georgia for a family reunion. At Fort Benning they stopped briefly for a light lunch and inspection of their grandchildren's tree, while Major John Eisenhower observed the Army's tradition that an officer eats Christmas dinner with his troops. Then, with all the family aboard, they flew off again on the last...

...latest "Stars and Stripes." The headline on the sports page said, "Harvard Coach Eyes First Win Over Elis." My Gawd, thought Vag, they're playing in New Haven tomorrow. Oh, well, have to grow up some day and who'd want to be the only duffer at the 25th reunion who had never missed a Yale game? Anyway, didn't Jordan Olivar say last week that it was just another football game. The mere thought of Olivar set Vag to cursing him for that asinine Yaeger stunt...
