...going on anywhere in Africa, ask at the American embassy," says a veteran European newsman who covers that continent. The American Legion, once prone to find State "soft on Communism," last year investigated and concluded that "the nation can place much confidence" in the department.

...salt has never lost its savor for Samuel Eliot Morison of Boston. As a boy, he mastered the literature of the sea from Aeschylus to Conrad. As a man, he became a famous historian of the sea (Admiral of the Ocean Sea, History of U.S. Naval Operations in World War II).

And his skills are so rusty that East German security men, locking onto his radio transmissions, are mystified by what they think, at first, must be the handiwork...
...gallery's basement, and while flashbulbs popped and TV cameras whirred, hung before red velvet in its place of honor. Yet, for all the trouble and cost he had incurred to acquire Titus, the lean, craggy six-footer with the deepset eyes and anguished look clearly did not savor the glare of publicity...
