...proceeds to an inner sanctum of the store, the shopper can look at even raunchier merchandise, including a dozen kinds of rubber phalli in varying sizes. According to the manager of the Stuttgart store, Beate's son Ulli, such Deutsche Wertarbeit (German quality workmanship) is particularly popular with French tourists...
...Senator's awe was shared by nearly everyone else the Nixons feted during three nights of receptions for Congressmen and their wives last week. Invited into the family rooms-which until a few years ago were almost as private as the inner sanctum of the Winter Palace in Lhasa-most visitors boggled. A few noted subtle changes. A portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt has been replaced by one of Dwight Eisenhower; Woodrow Wilson, a hero of the President (though a Democrat), has succeeded Lyndon Johnson.

...hand-operated grate and an erratic control button. It climbs slowly, cautiously--rather like the temperamental lift that displayed more personality than Julie Andrews in Thoroughly Modern Millie. The elevator opens--hopefully--onto a nondescript corridor. You pass a press room, then a secretary's office. The inner sanctum is a large room that, despite its heavy furniture, appears empty. There is an imposing mahogany desk, a matching conference table, an antique, roccoco grandfather's clock. The room is a flashback to a past generation. The beige telephone seems anachronistic...
