...more than twice the combined totals won by Progressive Henry Wallace and Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond in 1948 and was the largest third-party turnout since Robert La Follette garnered nearly 17% in 1924. (Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party ran second with 27.4% in 1912.) However, outside the Deep South his showing shrank dramatically below his standing in the polls through the late summer and early fall. He failed to prove his contention that the "rednecks" he bragged about were sufficiently numerous or widely enough distributed to people a national movement (see following story).

A collection of 100 offshore drilling rigs, some of them as tall as a 40-story building, are working on leases for which they have paid the federal government alone some $1.2 billion.

Keefe, president of Houston...
Without guilt, sex was meaningless. One advanced into sex against one's sense of guilt, and each time guilt was successfully defied, one had learned a little more about the contractual relation of one's own existence to the unheard thunders of the deep--each time guilt herded one back with its authority, some primitive awe--hence some creative clue to the rages of the deep--was left to brood about. Onanism and homosexuality were not, to Mailer, light vices--to him it sometimes seemed that much of life and most of society were designed precisely to drive men deep...
