...steer got nowhere near a blue ribbon until it was served with a bottle of Pabst. From coast to coast, mashed potatoes appear on menus as "snowflake, creamery-whipped potatoes"; all vegetables, whether frozen, canned or left over from yesterday, are called "garden fresh."

Someone remembered that it was Henry Ford II's 51st birthday, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday, dear Henry," while he blew...
...allowing any such thoughts to distract him from his hard-fought, late-starting drive. Through the week, he swept from New England to the Great Plains to Arkansas and Texas, bringing to 35 the number of states he has visited since he rejoined the race. He cracked jokes and lobster in Maine, clanged through the streets of Sioux City, Iowa, in a fireman's hat, was greeted on the green in New Haven, Conn., by Sybil, a seven-year-old elephant with a Rockefeller sticker on her trunk, and dropped in at the famous Humphrey drugstore in Huron...
