...thinking after the McGovern debacle. "We're back in the party for better or for worse, or, as we say down here, 'ridin' or walkin',' " says Michael Griffin, 25, an energetic Wallace aide. "The Governor is like Minnie Pearl when she says, 'Ah'm jes glad to be here.' Party stalwarts who once denounced Wallace as a bigot are now treating him like a brother.

Father, father, one glass, please, they said excitedly as they pressed around the priest. I began to understand what was going on, and so I tried to move off to the side, where I hoped I would not be noticed. Padre Ray had little choice. The campesino with the urn, his face dirty from the day's sweat, eagerly swung the container off his back and took...
