...could she make him feel so good one week and then stomp on him the next? What a thing to do to a guy!... And he had just taken it. He had stood there, not saying a word, taking it. She had squished him like some earthworm in the garden, and he had just taken...
...decided on the book when he was captured by the Allies. In Spandau, he wrote secretly in tight script on pieces of cardboard, tobacco paper, and even toilet tissue.

The President is also expected to name Robert Wells, president and general manager of radio station KIUL in Garden City, Kans., to fill the FCC seat being vacated by Commissioner James J. Wadsworth. Because both new appointees will replace Republicans, Nixon presumably will have to wait until next summer, when Democrat Kenneth Cox's term expires, before he gains control of the seven-member commission...
