Spry enough to savor a Texas-style barbecue, although no longer up to striking the daily "blow for liberty"-as a concession to the years, he manfully abandoned bourbon and stogies six weeks ago -weatherbeaten Elder Statesman John Nance Garner, longtime (1903-32) Texas Congressman, two-term (1933-41) Vice President, spruced up in a new blue suit and his old battered Stetson for a misty-eyed celebration of his goth birthday.

With a sigh President Coty folds his napkin. Nothing for it but to send out telegrams canceling the Assembly meeting-something that has never before occurred under...

Governor Harriman, sometime 8-goal polo player, hustled down to Brooklyn, signed the measure at Borough Hall with the gallant announcement, "I am a Dodger fan." Walter sat back to savor the glorious future. The truth was that he was starting the longest fall downstairs in the history of American comedy...
