Most of the President's Cabinet was scattered through the throng, all regardless of rank. Ambassadors passed the salt to Senators. Senators hobnobbed over their soup with the men who write, and who sometimes rip, them up from day to day. Bankers and ballplayers, Bandmaster Sousa, Governors Smith of New York and Cox of Massachusetts, publishers aplenty?all in the flesh, eating and laughing and talking...
