...portrait of Felix is surely one of the subtlest, wittiest and kindliest of a civil servant in a long time, and the story of his reluctant, harassed but courageous progress through the murderous fiddle-de-dee of the year 406 is told without a word out of place.

This made Roger mad, and he showed it by swatting Rodney across the face or grabbing his ear. Rodney hated this, and cried, but Roger laughed even while being scolded...

...Hoop-dee-Doo." After his announcement last February, the black-haired young (44) seventh-term Congressman began stumping the state on an eight-speech-a-day schedule. His "principal issue" was dramatized in a song to the tune of Hoop-dee-doo, which proclaimed: "Go with Gore-Albert Gore. He's wise and able and he's just forty-four . . ."
