...many weeks, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller ranged far and wide to chase the Republican presidential nomination-squeezing shoulders in New Hampshire, shaking hands in California, genially crying "Hiya, fella!" in Oregon, Florida, Illinois and Missouri. During this year's session of the New York State legislature, Rocky was in Albany barely half the time...
Rival players taunted the dandified A's: "Hiya, beautiful." Batters quavered when Harvey burst from his hole with a shriek.

Rockefeller telephoned Senator Styles Bridges, New Hampshire's most powerful Republican. "Hiya, fella," said Rocky on the phone. "You know, one of the hardest things about not being in Washington is that you miss seeing your friends."
