...left for the boat. Cohn was sporting a powder blue golfing windbreaker, wide wale scarlet corduroy pants, and sort of Pilgrim shoes with fancy buckles. We were accompanied by Dan and Jerry, two legal assistants, and Dan's omnipresent pair of miniature spaniels with matching cute names. Dan is short and stocky, with flowing Brillcream coiffure.

Leaping to his feet, Lord Leatherland cried: "I should hate historians of the future to say that Lord Gardiner...
...A.F.L.-C.I.O. Last spring, after he topped off an old feud with President George Meany by leading his own union out of the giant federation, Reuther decided that the Teamsters were not so bad after all. Last week the labor movement's Mr. Clean got together with its scarlet lady in a slogan-bedecked Washington hotel to exchange vows of solidarity forever.
