...which he would be totally responsible for all his misdeeds. He longed to be a guerrilla warrior. But offering a "good left opposition" inside the New Deal was a thing of the remote past; by the Haunted Fifties, America's left hand shrunk like a fried bacon strip. America had become a dinosaur with huge tail and tiny head. Our natural hostility to "the others," says he, ballooned into a drive to "kill the bastards and co-exist with ourselves...
...spending whatever funds are necessary to tunnel the expressway under the area, even though the aboveground one-mile segment as now planned will cost an estimated $35 million. But this is the kind of issue on which honest men may honestly differ.

In 1962, the rate soared to $18,800, and Dick Mayer took home the bacon. Finally, with Lloyd's out $113,200 and the tournament sponsors out $36,800 in premiums, the whole thing was called off. Not that Lloyd's was chicken, of course: if they can figure out some new ground rules, they may try again next year...
