[Mr. Mulliner]

We used to work with a woman who for years was the hostess at Chautauqua in New York. She could name-drop like no one I've ever met and literally was on a first name basis with some of the most famous politicians, entertainers, and scholars in the world. But her favorite person of all of them was Barbara Bush.

One of her least favorite people was UOx42. She said the first time he came to stay he was aloof and unfriendly. The next time he came he was on the campaign trail and was as gregarious as could be. He asked to see our friend and the secret service came and ushered her in where she had to put on an act of being glad to see him (she even sent us a picture of him hugging her), but she later confessed she wanted to tell him she wouldn't vote for him if he was the last person alive.

By the way, another of her least favorite people was Margaret Mead. She said she thought Margaret Mead had phony written all over her.

x42 probably would have had her arrested if she would have said that. He had a habit of doing that to people who he heard and who disagreed with him. I'm really off to bed now.
