Chandler's campaign is vintage stuff. "The people love it," he has said. "Why, they eat it up." His crowds weep as he belts out a chorus of There's a Gold Mine in the Sky, nod reverently when he quotes the Bible, roar as he castigates Combs. Speaking of a $60,000 floral clock on the capitol grounds, Happy cries: "What time is it? Two petunias past the Jimson weed!"

They must eat in the strictly misogynist grill or the large Madison Room,* where movies may be shown or the rug rolled back for dancing. Suburban wives have quarters where they can shower and change, retool the hairdo, or snooze awhile before meeting their Princetonian husbands for an evening on the town.
