...ground mists from the cemetery to the orchard lot, where he poured the slop into two troughs and heard the chup-chop of the sows' jaws. Glad to get away from the smell of the hoghouse, Joe waded through high grass and weeds to what was once a brooder house. He hefted a two-bushel bag of mixed feed and poured most of it into a trough for his non-purebred calves. Stepping back, he gauged with practiced eye each calf's enthusiasm for the mixture. Such attention pays off: only a few days before, he had spotted...

While the old-fashioned whistle stop did not seem the right way to campaign in streamlined 1952, there was far more whistle-stopping and more public response to it than ever before. But television, the brooder which had grown the G.O.P.'s Dick Nixon from ugly duckling to swan in only 30 minutes, had also come into its own and had generated new, baffling problems. As a result, big advertising agencies had become more deeply involved in the mechanics of politics than ever before...
