...never fully alive unless I'm on the road," Entwistle says. "Groupies are part of that. They build up my ego, make me feel that I'm a star." Alison Entwistle has a different attitude: "I hate being at home when he is on the road. I know groupies are part of it, and I hate them all." Heather Daltrey says she doesn't bother about such things...

...liberal Minnesota and Wisconsin than conservative Kansas or Indiana. Even so, the Register is a couple of steps to the left of Iowa opinion. Says Editorial Page Editor Gil Cranberg: "If I hated the paper as much as some of our letter writers do, I don't know why I would buy it." The paper favors abortion on demand, gun control and SALT II. It strongly supports Governor Ray, a moderate Republican, and pushed hard last year for the re-election of Senator Dick Clark, a liberal Democrat.
