...casual, generally unpolished way, Goldwater pleased his partisans by goading, in turn, the Kennedy Clan and Nelson Rockefeller. "America needs a change," he declared. "Rocking-chair leadership isn't enough. The Republican Party is a party of principle, not the captive of a clan or cult of personality. This is not a party controlled by any one man's money. It believes in an executive branch that is an equal partner, not a ruthless boss; in a judicial branch that is equal and independent, that interprets laws but does not make them...
...Gulf Chairman William K. Whiteford, 62, a rugged, casual oilman who started out as an Oklahoma roustabout, Spencer seemed ideally suited to become a Gulf subsidiary. Spencer's President John C. Denton, 44, was just as eager to accept Gulf's offer. He felt a need for more expansion capital to meet sharpening competition, especially in the plastic lines Spencer also makes.

As for the $60,000 general damages, that was simply the jury's calculation of Butts's future earning capacity...
...casual eye, West and East seemed much the same. And why not? A soup can is a soup can, whatever the clime. Like their New York counterparts, California pop painters gaze not upon nature or the human form but upon the most banal man-made objects or the most routine images of everyday life-a milk bottle, an advertising trademark, a scrap from a comic strip. These things are the same all over the nation; here indeed is expectable conformity. But upon closer scrutiny the Californians shared common aspects and a sort of group triumph: their stuff was even drearier...
