...when he wrote the memorable poem "Old Ironsides," which begins, "Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!" After a national outpouring of emotion, Congress quickly appropriated funds for the restoration of the frigate. It is still docked in Boston Harbor, a symbol of America's longtime affinity for tall ships and deep water. Poetry may have been enough to save a ship from the scrap heap then, but in an age more closely attuned to the demands of economics the sight of the Stars and Stripes fluttering from the flagstaff of a liner appears to be a luxury that...

He has the politician's firm handshake and a warm smile which only cools after you have seen him flash the identical smile at reporters, the President, starving Biafran babies, and housewives in Queens. One of his aides recently complained that he has adopted the Rockefeller's style of laughing: a big bellylaugh with his tongue hanging...
