...drop was general. Fairchild Camera, one of the higher flyers, sagged 91 points. So-by 3¾ points did IBM, one of the bluer chips. In all, the Dow-Jones industrial average, which measures 30 key stocks, fell 12.42 points...
...supporters to vote Socialist. Their votes could give the Socialists a majority in the 165-member Parliament (the Socialists now have 76 seats to the conservatives' 81), but in practice the People's Party is far more likely to benefit. Austrians are well aware of how much bluer the Danube is on their side of the Iron Curtain. Making the most of their fears, Klaus's campaign posters thunder about "the proof in black and white of the Red Volksfront menace."

It also contains some odd facts about the Governor; e.g., one eye is bluer than the other; he is ambidextrous. Except for the color of their eyes, the geographical locations and the political proper nouns, the heroes of the other three biographies are interchangeable. All had remarkable, up-from-the-shoetops careers; all are so faultless and sinless that they must certainly be potential...
