...that suggests he is a religious fanatic. As Governor, he maintained a strict separation of church and state, even canceling a series of official prayer breakfasts in the statehouse, which had been started by an earlier Governor. Moreover, while his religion may help sustain him over the long political haul (he says he sometimes prays as often as 25 times a day), the most important factors in his rise have been his intelligence and his toughness...
...looks like an overbuilt bicycle, sounds like an impatient teakettle and, in fact, combines pedal power with petroleum push. Called a moped (from motor-plus-pedals), the motorized bike is catching on rapidly in the U.S. as a practical, inexpensive form of short-haul transportation for commuters, students, the elderly and fresh-air lovers out for a spin-not to mention the suburban housewife who is reluctant to drive a gas-guzzling, nine-passenger station wagon two miles for a can of tuna.

At Fat Sam's, the "house special" is soda pop, and the custom-built cars that haul the marauding hoods around are driven by pedal power. Lots of people get rubbed out in the gangland power struggle, but nobody dies. The splurge tommy guns, designed with the help of a gunsmith, shoot a substance that looks like deliquescent marshmallow. If anyone is hit by a fusillade of splurge...
