Ford's suits have been comfortably baggy and wrinkled. The men's clothiers are planning a massive counterattack to put him into some of those fastidious, elder-statesman outfits that Nixon and Johnson wore. No wrinkles, no bulges, no flaws. Nobody who really works can keep clothes like that, which may have been part of our trouble. Ford has been seen with buckle shoes, no-cuff pants and colored shirts. The other day he had on a gray shirt. Not a dirty shirt. Just a gray-colored shirt, like one of those which children and wives...

Troy describes himself as "hopelessly independent," and shuns political ideology in his columns. As an "alternative voice" in a conservative area, he is regularly on the liberal counterattack. But he is a believer in private enterprise, an occasional defender of President Nixon, both before and after Watergate, and a fan of Evangelist Oral Roberts. Troy scorns the "kept" press in his state. "It reacts to the jingle of the cash register," he charges. "I'd be out of business if the other papers were doing their job." Few of Troy's friends-and none of his enemies-think...
