...Morocco. Like major-league ball clubs, they all have their stars. The Harwyn, especially nouveau riche, is a dissident Stork offshoot, having been started by former Stork employees, and treasures Frank Sinatra, who almost never slugs a photographer unless another one is there to snap the scene. (Eden Roc, in turn, is a Harwyn offshoot; New York nightclubs sometimes seem to multiply like amoebae.)

Macmillan's first major task in New York was an embarrassing one: burying the hatchet with Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser. As Sir Anthony Eden's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Macmillan had been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Britain's 1956 Suez invasion, which sought to topple Nasser. Now, swallowing his pride, Macmillan made a penitential journey to pay a call on Nasser, posed awkwardly for photographers beside the dictator of the Nile, who grinned...
