...originally cast for Emperor Franz Josef of Austria. Guests could view the most extensive collection of Czarist icons and jewelry outside the Soviet Union, the result of a Post buying spree in Moscow with her third husband, Ambassador Joseph E. Davies. At Hillwood, Mrs. Post's pet schnauzer slept in a bed once used by Belgian royalty...
...Allende slept only five hours a night and spent most of his waking hours wording. "To work for the people is really a pleasure," he once said grandiosely. Allende impressed visitors as a crisp administrator. He was a hard man but not a ruthless one.

We slept under the same roof. We know each other." Some strong bonds were forged during the week of conditioning in the Poconos and from those bonds came a successful season. When it was over, there were tears, speeches, exchanges of gifts, and pacts of lifelong friendship. The next fall, NP went undefeated again, and "The Best Damn Team" was largely forgotten...
