...Bone. But political protocol still demanded that the New Frontier find some kind of Administration job for the two-time Democratic presidential candidate. Stevenson was widely mentioned for Secretary of State. He was understandably disappointed when the United Nations offer came instead; and again he hesitated about accepting. Many Stevenson supporters considered the U.N. post just a bone thrown to Adlai. But to some of Kennedy's Irish Mafia outriders, it was one bone more than Adlai deserved...
Sure enough, the Socialists, after a parliamentary caucus, refused to join the grand coalition. After conferring with such close cronies as Minister Without Portfolio Heinrich Krone, Konrad Adenauer listened to the news with stony-faced indifference, and seemed bone-tired as he bowed to the inevitable.

In September they rejoined some of the nerves. Whether freckle-faced "Red" Knowles's arm would ever regain its sensation and power could not be foretold...
...said that he had an injured ankle. Granted a leave, Nureyev entered a hospital last week to have a small dislocated ankle bone pushed back into place. But he flatly refused to say which ankle is ailing (it is thought to be his right) for fear audiences would watch for him to favor it. But what specially irked London balletomanes was that Nureyev had already scheduled appearances with the American Ballet Theatre in Chicago during the Christmas season, and would rest up until then. He will not reappear at Covent Garden until mid-January, an absence that has forced postponement...
