Harry Truman's personal zip was still there, but suddenly the political zing was gone. His bearing was jaunty and his socks and ties were still as carefully matched as ever. He could still snap a decision, find time for a handshake with an old friend, or smile cheerfully for photographers at the inescapable White House ceremonials.

For four years Truman has regaled his friends with his imitation of Kaltenborn's broadcast on election night, 1948, when Kaltenborn was stubbornly insisting that Tom Dewey was winning. Now the President's zip was undiminished as he mimicked the 1952 Kaltenborn hailing an Eisenhower victory. Only this time, said Harry Truman with a wry grin, the old boy turned out to be right...

...offers a choice of skiing down to Jenaz, 18 miles away, or to the nearer villages of Saas, Serneus, Klosters or Wolfgang, each serviced by a whistle-stop railroad that hauls the skier right back to Davos.
