...earthy, deep-rooted populism are evoked in Fred Harris' pungent, often spellbinding speeches. The best orator among the declared candidates, Harris, 45, is running a "people's campaign" against "privilege." The Oklahoman logged 6,300 miles on a cross-country trek in a 24-foot camper last summer, cooking over an open fire, speaking to any small group that would listen (and often the groups were very small indeed). He hopes to ride this camper-style politics to the White House...
...stars on the concert circuit, Dylan happens to have a new single, Hurricane, just out and an album on the way. But his tour is different. It began, of all places, in Plymouth, where the Pilgrims settled, and it quickly became an oddly timeless journey: a rambling, almost casual camper and bus tour of college towns and blue-collar community halls.

The agents wore sandais, beards and beads, hoping to blend in with the inhabitants of the area. Still, neighbors spotted the stakeout and watched with considerable interest to find out who was being trailed. No one appears to have suspected the athletic and pleasant young couple...

The four agents leaped out of the LTD, and the other three came sprinting from the nearby camper. They were armed with pistols, a sawed-off shotgun and submachine guns. One watching neighbor later recalled, "They [the agents] seemed very nervous and shaky." The woman tried to get away, only to be caught within 20 ft. But the man calmly put up his hands, says another witness, "like...
