...push his own campaign along, Kennedy plans to use a special ploy: he is a certified war hero-an important credential in a state where American Legion and V.F.W. halls are important social-gathering centers. Before the campaign's end, Kennedy hopes to have his picture, in Navy uniform with ribbons, displayed in every V.F.W. and American Legion clubhouse and office in West Virginia...
...trial thrilled all India. Commander Nanavati appeared in court in full beribboned uniform, and arrived and departed each day in a navy Jeep. The ecstatic press and public hailed him as ''the Gregory Peck of the Indian navy." His penitent wife, demure in a white blouse and a white sari, testified for him.

...regiment entrained for Florida, and Post caught his first glimpse of Teddy Roosevelt grinning from a boxcar door. T.R.'s uniform "looked as if he had slept in it-as it always did." For T.R.'s "personal press agent," famed Reporter Richard Harding Davis, Post conceived an immediate and lasting dislike: "Richard Harding Davis was busy conning his Social Register and keeping himself and his silk undies in perfect condition for the rigors of the coming campaign."
