...Look Homeward, Angel Tom Wolfe, not by fifty gallons of corn pone, but a well-mannered young fellow from Richmond, with long brown hair floating down both sides of a pale, round face that looks more like 24 than 34. This is a Wolfe in chic's clothing: off-white suit, lemon-colored tie, brown-and-white pin-stripe shirt with French cuffs, wine-colored silk handkerchief puffing out of the jacket pocket-when he gets dressed up, in short, he looks like a well-polished Pierce-Arrow...

Jack's neurotic girlfriend sums it up best when she shows him around her zany apartment, a veritable junkyard of art, and explains to him: "I know it's eclectic, but I tried not to repress anything...
...swing that decision, Corn said that he paid $7,500 apiece to Justice Johnson and former Justice Earl Welch, 73, and later paid them another $2,500 apiece in an oil-lease case. Welch recently resigned, thus escaping impeachment. Johnson denied the charges, and when he was tried by Oklahoma's state senators, during one day's testimony, he repeated 56 times: "I don't recall." Johnson cannot appeal his removal from office. He and Welch also face probable criminal charges for bribery...
