...Zimmer, on the other hand, would rather walk through Quincy Market. He'd like to start at Regina's and then grab maybe a couple of dozen chocolate chip cookies and some souvlaki, with a big finish at Durgin Park and maybe a half-gallon of beer. Zimmer's face looks like an aging Vegas stripper's silicone-sagging buttocks. He's already cost the club a fortune, what with bolstering the dugout bench and increased drag on the team bus, and he's not exactly defraying the expenses with World Series checks.

Thus the better part of our first year was spent in convincing both the Soviets and our own bureaucracy that we intended to base our negotiations on a calculation of the national interest, not abstract slogans, and on strict reciprocity, not "gestures" or "signals...
...detected beneath the glacial exterior. Either my only attempt to strike a light tone backfired, or else Kosygin's humor was too subtle for me. At the end of the summit, we boarded a Soviet plane. To the considerable chagrin of our Soviet hosts, its engines refused to start. Kosygin stormed on the plane and said: "Tell us what you want to do with our Minister of Aviation. If you want him shot on the tarmac we will do so." He looked as if he might be serious. I attempted to ease his embarrassment by speaking of the wickedness...
