...this is one triangle that could seem eternal if Author White did not unfold the entire panoply of medieval life to divert the reader. He ranges from the protocol of jousting and the niceties of falconry to the names of the "fiercer cocktails" of the period, e.g., Father Whoresonne, Stride Wide and Lift...
Virtually every chancellery in the world -including Soviet Russia's-had been thrown off stride by the vagaries of Nikita Khrushchev.

But with patience and Parker working hand in glove, the boy is soon dolled up in pale blue breeches, reading from the Beatitudes and gazing blankly at a wide-eyed bit of fluff (Broadway's Carol Lynley) from across the road. Fess himself makes sheep's eyes at the preacher's daughter (Joanne...
