He carried a cane if he was playing an invalid; if feigning drunkenness, he smelled of liquor and carried a bottle tightly wrapped in a brown paper bag.

But a year of open-minded daily contact with such a creature is bound to lead to something, and in this case it has led to one of the most elegant and perceptive pieces of nature writing since...
...vivant, he swings with more of an old-fashioned zest for good wine, women, song and conversation than with any new lifestyle. He used to be a regular guest, for instance, at the elegant Establishment soirees of fustian Columnist Joseph Alsop, once even offering to wear a dinner jacket if Alsop would invite Stokely Carmichael.
