(pop. 2,392), they put together a parade too-a squad of high school boys carrying red railroad flares, followed by a shaggy pony pulling a cart containing Barry, who waved from beneath a buffalo robe. But crowds were not overwhelming, applause was skimpy, and after two days in New Hampshire it was becoming clear that Goldwater's campaign was not producing the whiz-bang reaction he had hoped...

Once upon a time, golf was a form of exercise: 18 holes involved a cross-country hike of some 4 miles. The coming of the golf cart eliminated the walking, but the game was still a way of getting out into the open air. Now even this is unnecessary. A foursome in snowbound Maine may play Pinehurst at midnight without having to do more than stand up and swing...
