But the big-money boys in the party don't want any part of me, and they don't want any part of the kind of amateur groups that are growing up for me. Now, historically, the Eastern fat cats have been able to move in and head off the nomination of a conservative candidate on the grounds that he couldn't win.

...many branches, and it contains a benzene ring of six closely bonded carbon atoms. This sort of thing is uncommon in nature, and bacteria find it unpalatable. So Esso chemists set out to make a molecule of a long, unbranched chain of carbon atoms, rather like a natural fat. That, they figured, would be something bacteria could get their teeth into, destroying it quickly. They tacked a sulfonic-acid group (-SO-OH)-the chemical that is responsible for the cleansing action-onto each long-chain hydrocarbon molecule. This is no easy trick to perform in a practical industrial process...

Since 1947, the annual per capita consumption of dairy products has dropped from 768 Ibs. to 611 Ibs. The fear of cholesterol and the unpopularity of fat have permanently removed many Americans from the dairy bar, and many rebellious teenagers, who often regard milk as a symbol of childhood, have switched to drinking coffee, soft drinks or beer...

Since the Agriculture Department's dairy products figures are stated in terms of milk-fat consumption (and 1 Ib. of butter is rated as 21 Ibs.), the Milk Industry Foundation argues that 80% of the drop in dairy products represents butter's loss to competing margarine and claims that consumption of fluid whole milk has actually increased 10.9 Ibs. since...
...result was disaster. Louis chose a daughter of the Prince de Condé, whose family ran to madness as some families run to fat. Condé had a habit of barking convulsively-though at court he usually managed to stuff his mouth with a silk drapery when he felt such an attack coming...
