...Teeny-Weeny Wonder." In Tokyo's nightspots there are girls to suit every male personality. Ladies' Town on the Ginza assuages the married man's conscience (and concupiscence) with girls dressed in long, satin bridal gowns and lacy veils; the Aho (Idiot) Club in the Ueno District outfits its girls in crisp white nurses' uniforms and pale blue caps. There are bars with girls in sailor suits (to conjure up memories of the Imperial Navy), others where the intellectual clientele is served by misses who have read every literary quarterly...
Dragons Jones and Kornegay were not much better off. Jones was accused of using Klan funds to buy a Cadillac and a station wagon, making personal use of a fund raised for a Klansman indicted in a bombing, and pocketing outrageous profits on sales of satin Klan robes-without turning in a corporate-tax return.

From 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on the evening of the party came word that the Representatives should stay in session until they...
...humble aspirant to an old master's throne, Ormandy has all the moves of a maestro to the manner born. He receives visitors in his Bellevue-Stratford Hotel suite (where he has lived with his second wife for the past 15 years) attired in blue satin smoking jacket and matching polka-dot ascot. His still-accented English has taken on the authority of a Charles Boyer, his pronounced limp (an old hip injury aggravated by an automobile accident five years ago) appears less a handicap than a charming idiosyncrasy. True, he no longer tears around town like a dragster...
