30 (AUG. 20, WED.)

And now we all have a new King. I wish him

and you, his people, happiness and prosperity

with all my heart.

--Duke of Windsor

depending on how you look at it.

There'd been a telephone call from the White House at 7 A.M., from Gov

personally. There was no need for me to come in, he said. My job was

intact but different. I wasn't the Presidential Press Secretary any

more, but my new assignment was just as important--maybe more so. Mox,

who came on the line on an extension, said the same, so I knew it was

official.
