Five O'Clock Shadow. Nixon went straight to the White House next morning, sat in on a round of conferences, talked to President Eisenhower for about 15 minutes, slipped out a back door of the White House just in time to get to a luncheon for Mohammed V at Anderson House. Then he rushed to the Capitol, tried to get in a few minutes of undisturbed work in his unnumbered Capitol office.

Since she is married to a more human ruler, she must acquire a shadow or forfeit her husband's life. With the help of a witchlike nurse and surrounded by innumerable magic effects (a sword springing from nowhere, fish conjured from thin...
...Expatriate Feehan sticks to chiding German frauleins on their spraddle-footed dancing, and American housewives on their hair curlers, calling the roll of celebrities who pass through town, and pointing the way to good food and drink, e.g., for Balkan dishes, "go to Bei Milan's in the shadow of the Rathaus...
