...follows that the bishop does not favor rich viands, even for an occasional guest. A recent lunch visitor found himself dispatched to the garden to pluck a lettuce. As he rinsed it he was confronted with a choice between fish-head soup and lentil soup. (Not straight fish heads, the host explained. Those go for fertilizer. Rather a nourishing fish-head broth.) The guest chose lentils. Followed by some lettuce leaves, drenched in dill-pickle juice, and then by rolls (left by a neighbor) that the bishop turned into dessert by adding some home-grown rhubarb. Such frugality...

...effectiveness the central campaign issue. He claims Texas has lost 11 military bases because Tower wasn't "tending to your business." But these pragmatic appeals have not inspired the state's voters as did former U.S. Senator Ralph Yar-borough's fervid, heart-felt speeches. Krueger is a cold fish. At a recent function Krueger was even unable to woo an audience of liberals. After speaking for ten minutes, a lonely voice hollered-out, "Attack Tower some more."
