...many weeks, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller ranged far and wide to chase the Republican presidential nomination-squeezing shoulders in New Hampshire, shaking hands in California, genially crying "Hiya, fella!" in Oregon, Florida, Illinois and Missouri. During this year's session of the New York State legislature, Rocky was in Albany barely half the time...
...Last October in Chicago, two agents in separate cars spotted a well-known narcotics racketeer named Nolan Mack taking a heroin delivery from a second man. Recognizing the agents, Mack leaped into his car and fled. The agents barreled after him. In a dizzying chase, Mack rammed one of the pursuing cars, sent it careening into a lamp pole. The second agent finally cornered Mack. But as the agent scrambled from his car, Mack opened fire. The first bullet creased the agent's temple; the second slammed into a car window, spraying glass into the agent's face...
Annoyed that the U.S. owned more than half of its industry, Canada's government last June proposed a bill to chase investors back across the border.

All were beaten. Instead, New Hampshire's delegation...
...nation laid waste, exhausted in defeat, sorting out by slow social processes the stray dogs that forage among the ruins. Though the film runs two hours, much longer than necessary, its best scenes are unforgettably good. Cheering throngs at a Tokyo baseball stadium provide background for one tingling chase. In a city overcome by heat, the camera searches a line of chorus girls collapsed on a dressing-room floor, flesh glistening with sweat, each face a breathless distillation of despair. After a murder, a closeup of a splattered tomato-despite the obvious symbolism-suddenly, almost insidiously, conveys the whole meaning...
