...entourage is invited in for a drink. "Mackell going to pay for this?" Procaccino asks. Assured that refreshments are indeed on the missing Mackell, the candidate suddenly snaps his fingers. "As long as I've got the night off," he announces, "I'll take the wife and daughter out to dinner." He finds a pay telephone and is about to dial when he notices that a reporter is watching him.

In the opener, they played Hobbes with themselves and plausibility. The life of the series should be nasty, brutish and-considering New People's kamikaze time slot opposite Laugh-In and Here...
...resulting weaknesses are also the book's strength. If there is an overabundance of expressions of gratitude to myriad friends, there is also much affection that might have been mawkish if presented in more professional prose.
