...workaholic society Harry Truman would have been a flake. Right in the middle of rebuilding the world after World War II, he used to insist on interludes with his neighbors from Independence, Mo., poker games on his yacht on the Potomac and hours of inexpert splashing around in the warm waters of Key West. He was a successful President...

Restraining himself from the bear hugs with which he used to welcome Henry Kissinger, Sadat greeted Kissinger's successor as Secretary of State with warm handshakes and friendly grabs of his shoulders...

Only one boat-a sea scalloper--comes into the market with any regularity. Men warm themselves by fires on the street corners and early risers pick their way around puddles and stacks of cartons, and stuff fish scraps into brown shopping bags. Strings of lights outline the Brooklyn Bridge until the sun rises and the surrounding skyscrapers emerge by degrees from the darkness...
