...occasion to agree. Like George, a savvy politician given to silvery doubletalk, Andreas played all sides of a question when it suited him. He accepted an invitation to attend a conference of nonaligned nations, then did not go. As the "Minister to the Premier"-his father's right-hand man-he moved in on other Cabinet members, virtually running the Greek economy. To prove his Greekness, he abruptly canceled Voice of America rebroadcasts, was quoted as making anti-NATO statements (which he later denied), and forced the transfer of the U.S. Information Agency chief from Athens...
...visiting firemen," wryly concedes only that Steele, a onetime manager of the Beverly Hills Tennis Club, "was and perhaps is a very proficient tennis player." The jury will hear evidence over the next few months from 59 witnesses, including Charles Litton and contentious Noah Dietrich, Hughes's longtime right-hand man (they broke up); the onetime boss of the four men in the case, Dietrich will testify for Steele.

He plays Roman roulette, which means hurtling into an intersection without looking to left or right. The one thing he likes better than passing a whole row of cars is passing the car that is passing them...

The chiefs of state, gathered in Cairo for the second annual summit of the Organization of African Unity, laid their doubts on the line in a manner that would have done credit to a convention of devil's advocates...
