...tried farming and cutting timber, but acid from strip mining had all but ruined the land. So he began selling his corn liquor to the whisky runners. He now has two basic markets: those counties in Kentucky that have elected to remain dry, and the Kentucky-bred laborers in Cincinnati, Louisville and even Chicago who have never lost their taste for homemade corn. He no longer tries to run his whisky. "Back in '47," he recalled, "I was driving this Army truck and I smacked broadside into a state cop with three gallons under my seat. He took...

Duke, meanwhile, goes to pieces, athletically, and the Maple Leafs stagger downward in the NHL standings to the point where they must defeat the Vancouver Canucks in the season's final game to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs...

In addition to the Association of Free Merchants and the Autonomous Party of Pensioners, for instance, there is the all-nudist Naturalist Movement, whose candidate this year is Model Anna Maria Martini, 25. Proponents of acid rock, free sex, abortion and legalized marijuana can line up behind the Ippi (hippie) Party's candidate, Angelo Quattrocchi...
