Danny comes from West Texas cattie-handling stock. He has never been any place he could not drive to, and he loves the road and his car. He is also hooked on trashy highway food: butter rum Life Savers, Peanut Planks, cheap cheeseburgers. A brief, miserable marriage does not alter his open approach to life, nor does he fall for the blandishments of publishers and movie pro ducers - although they give McMurtry a chance to kid literary parties and Hollywood editing methods...
...Sure, a lot of the men didn't care too much for Lindsay," DeLury said Tuesday. "But 97 per cent of these guys are high school graduates. They may hate the man, but they're going to vote where the bread and butter is. In terms of dollars and fringe benefits, Lindsay gave them more between '66 and '68 than anybody before him.

Nonetheless, minority participation in the movement has grown in recent months...
Anne Henning, a cheery, curly-haired blonde who never travels without her lucky Snoopy button and a large supply of peanut butter, does not miss the social life that is ruled out by her training regimen. Says she: "There are lots of boys in the training group too, you know." Dianne Holum, a fiercely dedicated competitor who worked as a waitress last year to help finance a three-month training stint in The Netherlands, adds: "I don't mind the sacrifices. An Olympic gold medal is a life's ambition come true." Even so, the demands are such...
