...particular party's side. "This impartiality obliges me to insist that my name, even in the form of an adjective, not be utilized by any group or candidate." Nevertheless, politicians of almost every stripe tumbled all over themselves to win, if not his name, at least some sort of unofficial blessing. "Gaullism," said Georges Bidault wryly, "is a cathedral, open to all, with only dogs, assassins and the plague excluded...

This sort of payoff has drawn her to the attention of Internal Revenue men who argue that her gyrations constitute a cabaret act, that the club ought to pay the 20% entertainment tax rather than the 3% charged for purely instrumental gaiety. "If I had to stop groaning," Dorothy groans, "I'd be out of business." So a compromise was arranged...
