...will have hard work to make his name recognized by more voters and to build support for himself in Democratic organizations outside Georgia. "I intend to campaign with the same political techniques I used in the 1970 Governor's race," says Carter, "a minimum of expenditures and a maximum of contact with voters." He plans on 250 days of campaigning next year, during which he will rely on a savvy brand of political toughness underneath his populist, courtly charm. When a Washington reporter asked him last week if, considering the odds against him, he was not really running...

...rise of Mr. Black and the People's Army and the fall of Flash. Mr. Black capitalizes upon Flash's fall from grace in the public eye to implement his ideal, a kind of brave new world in which all men are artificial robots programmed to run at maximum efficiency. Preservation finds its denouement in Mr. Black's ultimate behaviorial mechanization of Flash, leaving one with many of the same thoughts as did A Clockwork Orange...
