...campaign seems to have shaken the mayor. Waving a letter from a local woman, Townsend says, "There's a rumor that tour-bus companies are selling tickets to future city council meetings. It's not appropriate." Candidate Clint is not falling for any of that. On the tea-and-cracker circuit around town, he is setting forth his position on burning local issues like "second kitchens."

Lone drivers must either bunk up at cracker-box motels or slump over the wheel after the maximum ten-hour stretch allowed by federal regulation. Spelled by co-drivers, truckers sometimes sleep in their living quarters or just stand, walk around and ease white-line tension. "The better the equipment, the safer the ride," says Tom Phillips...
