...believe a Bigfoot or Abominable Snowman may exist in the coastal mountains. Eyewitness reports and folk-legends are supported by footprints and fossil evidence as well as by less-convincing alleged hair and alleged feces. Bigfoot is big business as well. Magazines such as True and Argosy run frequent articles; Willow Creek, Calif., holds a Bigfoot carnival every year during which the townspeople put Bigfoot footprints on the sidewalk and sell Bigfoot ashtrays...
Nixon was even more forceful in vowing once again that he would not resign. "Resignation is an easy cop-out," he declared, adopting his frequent rhetorical device of posing an artificially easy-or-tough choice. "But resignation of this President on charges of which he is not guilty simply because he happened to be low in the polls would forever change our form of government.

...times, is muffled by hazy memories, and by the fact that the actors speak from calm points of resolution. The reader must often settle with a single version of incidents that involve several of the other actors, a version which more often than not is exasperatingly broken by frequent explanatory comments.

The Riverside text, prepared by Gwynne B. Evans...
DiCara has always put his memory to good political use. A frequent candidate since his class president days at Boston Latin School, he has had remarkable success in almost every election he has entered. "People used to laugh at Larry when he would run for high school and college offices, but when it came to election day his was the only name they recognized," a longtime DiCara supporter says. "He always used to joke about running for high offices--why he declared for president in 1963. I think he imagines himself to be an Italian John Kennedy...
