...Clemente, Nixon follows a schedule that seems to be a leisurely version of his old White House routine. Shortly before 9 a.m., conservatively suited and always wearing an American-flag pin in his lapel, he usually rides a golf cart the quarter-mile from his house to Building A, the former Coast Guard station that serves as his private office. There he makes telephone calls, reviews his most important pieces of mail and has lengthy conferences with aides about his memoirs...
...over a decade, but at Brennan's it has become a cult. Each Thursday evening up to 700 aficionados toting map turtles, pacific pond turtles, diamondbacks and other favored varieties converge on the bar in search of a spot on its 13-race card and the chance to cart home a plywood trophy. There are time sheets and a record book, and the turtle with the evening's fastest time has its name engraved on a plaque that sits behind the bar. The track record is held by Sea Biscuit. He once covered the 8-ft. distance from...

The disease has permanently damaged his knees, and he must use an electric cart to get around at college. But he has served as an aide to Scoop Jackson in the Senate, learned to fly, swims more than 1,500 yds. a day in college, working out regularly with the swimming team. Journey makes hauntingly clear that Bobby's spirit is intact. In a post script the boy rejects the suggestion, sometimes made to him, that his or deal has been...
...working in color, he has made a film that is polished without being slick; concentrating on faces he has handled an intensely emotionaly issue without getting sentimental or manipulative. When you see a grower, John Giumarra, ride out to the picket line to confront the UFW on a golf cart with dollars signs painted on the sides and front, you suddenly remember that he put those dollar signs there--not a director. Fighting for Our Lives is filled with moments like that. No one had to hire extras to play sheriffs in Kern and Tulare counties; they were out there...
