Tricia's will be the fourth presidential wedding in five years, counting Julie Nixon's marriage to David Eisenhower when her father was President-elect; yet repetition has not much dimmed the novelty.

...split-second before the visitor comes in the front door. Then Lobo is allowed to rush out the back door, a tornado of bristles and snarls, in a vain (hopefully) attempt to race around the establishment and up the front steps in time to rip the pants off whoever is going in the front door...
