Klein has lately reconciled himself to doing without the skindiving, swimming, and warm weather he used to enjoy near his home at La Jolla. Klein and his wife Marjorie have two married daughters. He reads newspapers and periodicals, but seldom has time for books. He views the world through habitually squinted eyes and speaks so softly that reporters must strain to hear him. He wept openly after Nixon's 1960 defeat and did so again, perhaps for different reasons, after Nixon's famous "last press conference" following the California gubernatorial election of 1962. With newsmen, he has preserved...
...currently on a U.S. lecture tour, is a shy man with fine features and a soft, halting voice. And like Balthazar, he compensates for his shyness with a bold appearance, in this case, a scraggly Van Gogh kind of beard, heavy tweeds and knickers (augmented in foul weather by a cape and a Sherlock Holmes hat), and a walking stick.

Through a nasty turn in the weather, he is accompanied by two American newlyweds honeymooning in Hungary. Of course, their unexpected presence in Poelzig's fantastic Bauhaus mansion (built on the ruins of the most impressive battlefield-graveyard produced by the War) cramps his style--particularly when Poelzig takes a fancy to the young bride and decides...
...likes to remember that fateful Rutgers game in 1966, but the weather on Saturday, October 19, 1968 evoked all sorts of memories. At Princeton in 1967, Yale fans loudly beseeched: "Stop the rain, Brian." Curiously enough, the sun emerged again in the second half...
