...take a little dictation. Perhaps twice a day the President talked by telephone to the White House staff. As for the rest, the days fell into pattern: lunch, a nap, bridge (with Humphrey; veteran golfing companion Bill Robinson, Coca-Cola president; and Ellis Slater, retired president of Frankfort Distillers), supper, bridge and bed by about...
Tonight (José Melis, his piano and strings; Seeco). A collection of standards -Love Is a Simple Thing, Harbor Lights, One Morning in May-played by a 40-year-old Cuban supper-club pianist (and member of the Jack Paar TV show).

Actually, it was dedicated not to the big (1917) Bolshevik Revolution but to the lesser, abortive rebellion of 1905. The composition, too, was lesser and abortive...
