...rallies, at $25-a-plate dinners, and in checks through the mail. Affluent backers pay $500 and up to join Wallace "Patriots' Clubs" and lunch with the candidate when he comes to town. In Dallas last month, Wallace dined with such "plain folk" as Mrs. Nelson Bunker Hunt, daughter-in-law of Oil Billionaire H. L. Hunt; Paul Pewitt, who has a $100 million fortune from Texas oil and Idaho potatoes; and M. H. Marr, an oilman worth about $10 million.

...neurotic daydreamer who cannot yield her son Simon to another woman. A fretful, aging charmer, her hidden impulse is as sin-deep as incest. Using spider-and-fly tactics, Deborah invites Simon to take over the tangled web of his dead father's business and installs Daughter-in-Law Sara as mistress of the Harford mansion. Simon, an erstwhile poet turned gimlet-eyed merchant, agrees-if he can absorb the entire firm and expunge his father's name. Deeper shades of Oedipus. In the end, mother goes mad; Simon and Sara's doom seems to await another...
