However dubious some of his antics, Tuck was usually aboveboard. "I was not surreptitious," Tuck insists. "I didn't hide what I did. I never tried to be malicious. It's the difference between altering fortune cookies to make a candidate look funny and altering State Department cables to make it look as if a former President were a murderer...

As for the noncouture masses, let them wear denim...

A half hour later Connors, high on his success, is surrounded in the pressroom. The Stockton family, minus Mr., waits for Dickie on the clubhouse porch, looking out over the grass now singed dusky by the sun's going down. He barely acknowledges them as he trudges by, towel draped around his neck for a shower. How do you greet a beaten Stockton when all the customary reassurances, the buck ups, the next times, the good fights, come...
