...progress of From the Diary of a Snail is all too consistent with the author's snail principles. On the way to almost any point, the reader is likely to get a favorite recipe from Chef Grass (simmered tripe with caraway seeds) or a growling epithet on Hegel: "Thanks to his subtlety, every abuse of state power has to this day been explained as historically necessary."

Caraway, mayor of upstate Leland (pop. 5,000): "We are trying a peaceful and intelligent approach to a very difficult problem. We aren't Ku Kluxers, but if we fail, a Klan-type group will surely follow...
...seven: Georgia's Democrat Rebecca Latimer Felton, who served for two days in 1922; Arkansas' Democrat Hattie Caraway, who was appointed to succeed her husband in 1931, later was elected three times; Louisiana's Democrat Rose Long, who served a year after her husband, Huey, was assassinated in 1935; Alabama's Democrat Dixie Bibb Graves, appointed for five months in 1937; South Dakota's Republican (Miss) Gladys Pyle, elected for two months in 1938; South Dakota's Republican Vera C.
