Calming & Relaxing. Awakened just after 5 a.m., the President was soon stretched out on a mobile bed. Into an arm vein, the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Edward P. Didier and an assistant injected a muscle relaxant and a pre-anesthesia dose of a barbiturate to serve both as a mild analgesic and a calming agent...
...There is a question," rumbled George Meany last week, "where the vote went." Labor had undeniably failed to elect most of its favorite candidates. What was especially galling to the A.F.L.-C.I.O. president was that the federation's campaign arm, the Committee on Political Education, boasted a stronger organization this year than ever before.

Fallaw gives us exhaustive and often confusing detail: "I go under his arm over my head;" "rising and making two medium steps, he pushed shut the door;" "touching the strings with his right forefinger." The protagonist, anonymous for 800 words, suddenly and confusingly becomes "Rip Sanson." There is also some pretty unidiomatic dialogue ("'What say to a good idea, Toby?' Rip kidded him") and this is a story...
