...Patrick McConaughy, 48, director of Chinese affairs in the State Department since 1952. Foreign Service Officer McConaughy has seen his share of lights going out in Asia: in 1941, while serving in the U.S. embassy in Peking, he was interned by the Japanese, released the following year.

"Mistuh Ford." said his caddy, "you better play it safe." "The hell I will, boy," said Ford. He swung his spoon, made the green and holed...
...ceiling ("Can you get DTs when you're only thirty?"). A heart attack carried off husband Bob, leaving Diana at the mercy of strong-minded Dan Freeman, her summer-stock leading man. Dan led Diana to a children's playground, murmured: "Come on, baby, sit in the swing . . . You're a sick girl. Diana . . . You are going to get to God." Instead. Diana found Dan massaging her back, crooning gently: "Ei-lu-lu, Bab-en-u. Ei-lu-lu-lu-lu. Baby"-an old lullaby his mother used to sing...
