...Marked his recovery by playing Burning Tree Club golf course-and scheduling a match for this week with Japan's visiting Premier Nobusuke Kishi...

Telescoping the centuries, one can see the coronation of Napoleon or Marie Antoinette in prison. Here is Paris drinking the cocktail of the sun, and here is Paris wrapped in the misty veils of a Salome. These books present a courtesan, the irresistible city of a thousand wiles, painted by her infatuated admirers...
