We have two kinds of "conference." One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevi...tch is "in conference." This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of "conference" is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don't want to be disturbed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is th...inking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
