The foolish Sir Andrew is dothed in an orange and claret that are subtly incompatible...
...austere National Palace, the sun burst through the overcast, warming the sea of upturned faces below. But the most radiant face of all belonged to Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, the brainy backlands lawyer on whose slim frame outgoing President Adolfo López Mateos draped the green, white and red sash of office.
