...Sunday, for the first time in weeks, the President strolled leisurely over to the First Baptist Church at 16th and O Streets, enjoying the 15-minute walk in the bright morning sunshine. The sermon topic: "America's Peril." In the cool of the evening he drove to the Lincoln Memorial in an open touring car, heard the National Symphony Orchestra play a presidential request number (Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik) from a barge anchored in the Potomac...
...Dear Old Spire." On his strolls through the city, Clark might walk through parks in which bank clerks now plant vegetable gardens, though many parks had already been used for another purpose: the burying of Red Army dead. The Hotel Sacher, which had witnessed much of the monarchy's history and more of its amours, is now a British officers' club.

The eight musicians of Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band average 30 years in age, but they serve such standbys as Ostrich Walk and High Society, along with new ones of their own New Orleans style. The college students, sailors, socialites and nostalgic oldtimers who pack the joint don't come to sit and listen. Their dancing rocks the floor like an old-fashioned firemen's ball...
