...Fashioned Virtue. As Nixon's running mate in 1960, Lodge was accused by party pros of not going all out in campaigning. His version is that he was properly pacing himself to sooth an ulcer and avoid the fatigue that too often produces reckless campaign statements. Again, no matter: another political defeat afforded Lodge the chance for even more disinterested public service-his two separate stints as U.S. Ambassador to Viet Nam, first for Kennedy, then for Johnson...

Hundreds of boats sounded a salute, and dock cranes dipped in tribute as Sir Francis Chichester, waylaid the past month by a duodenal ulcer, at last sailed Gipsy Moth IV up the Thames to the Royal Naval College at Greenwich, where he was formally knighted by Queen Elizabeth with Sir Francis Drake's sword.
