Consider the skeleton on which Shakespeare has hung his play. Helena is the orphaned ward of the Countess of Roussillon, and is in love with the Countess' son Bertram, who is above her in station. When he goes to the King's court, she follows. The King has been pronounced incurably ill, but Helena promises to cure him in return for the hand of any lord she chooses. The King recovers in two days, and she picks Bertram, who wants none of her. He is forced to marry her, but leaves at once to fight in the Italian wars...

In his book, Six Crises, Nixon relates how Burns early in 1960 urged him to propose a loosening of money and budget policies to ward off a recession. Nixon did so, but the proposal was rejected. The recession hit, and Nixon is convinced that it cost him a victory over John F. Kennedy. Burns and Nixon stayed in touch during Nixon's years in political exile in Manhattan. Shortly after Nixon was nominated in 1968, Burns...
