...main ritual is conducted every month when the moon is full. If the ceremony is indoors, it is conducted "sky-clad"?in the nude. It begins with a dance, men and women rotating in a circle facing out. "Thout-tout-a-tout-tout," they sing, "throughout and about." The men put their weight only on the toes of their left feet, which gives them a hobbling gait. At a certain moment, the priestess breaks free and guides the others inward in a spiral.

Then, after there were screams from the garage, the police commanded the outlaws to take off their clothes and come out one by one.

"I'm sorry we scared your cattle," he said...
George Corley Wallace's double-knit-clad workers do not talk about alienation. Their current word for the mood of the voters is "disenchantment." Another term at the Alabama Governor's Montgomery headquarters is "protracted politics"-not a bad description of Wallace's dogged, divisive presidential candidacy, now making its third appearance in eight years. Whatever it is, it is working: Hubert Humphrey edged him by a scant 5% margin in Indiana; George McGovern has carefully ducked him in Florida and Michigan, where busing is a hot issue; Scoop Jackson could never catch fire once Wallace...
