...YORK. The overwhelmed Reagan faction was born less out of ideological fervor than an intraparty clash between the state's imposing, egg-bald party chairman, Richard Rosenbaum, 45, and the pugnacious chairman of Brooklyn's G.O.P., George Clark, 35. Clark had seized upon the Reagan candidacy to vent his resentment of Rosenbaum's iron chancellorship and Rockefeller's tight paternal grip. The two leaders had fought first in Kansas over whether Clark could have a Reagan telephone on the floor, then over whether Reagan should be formally invited to address the whole delegation. Rosenbaum vetoed both ideas. Complained Reagan Delegate...
...Mittyism about this. I could never for an instant imagine myself performing the feats of these uniformed supermen; yet thinking about Sunday's heroes does offer relief from mundane cares. When I fall asleep, however, I begin to dream middle-aged dreams. I dream that I am old, egg-bald Y.A. Tittle in high-top shoes, running a bootleg into the end zone on my weary legs.

It is an almost absurdly grandiose undertaking, but egg-bald Publisher Matsutaro Shoriki, 78, who dreamed it up, is not used to doing anything on a scale smaller than cosmic. "The people of Japan," says Shoriki, "expect Shoriki to do things bigger and better than anyone else...
...North, the leading figures were just as disparate. Massachusetts' egg-bald, cockeyed Congressman Benjamin Butler in April 1860 was a Southern sympathizer and a devoted backer of Jeff Davis for President of the whole U.S.; he lived to be military governor of occupied New Orleans and became known throughout the South as "Beast" Butler. Illinois' Senator Stephen A. Douglas, with his massive head and dwarfish body, was a man in the middle; in his efforts to please North and South, he became anathema to both. Illinois' Republican Representative Owen Lovejoy had seen his older brother, an abolitionist...
