"We were playing bridge at Kay Graham's apartment in New York — over on the East Side. I think the other two players were my husband John Loomis and a friend of ours, John Gillespie — although the constitution of the bridge game sometimes changed. And they wanted a picture for Fortune Magazine, where I worked. And they said "Let's get one at the bridge table." So I went over and sat down and pulled my cards back — tried to look exactly like we were playing. And Warren, on the spur of the moment, leaned over to look at my cards — and I broke into laughter. It was perfect. It was a great example of his sense of humor, which is very, very extraordinary. When people say something to him, his instinctive wish is to say something funny back."
