...days spent in cooling the slums gave Stokes time to polish some ideas. Then he began to act. Farmers were killing pigs to dramatize their desire for higher prices; Stokes got them to donate the hogs to a project dubbed "Operation Pork Chop," which distributed 60 tons of free meat to Cleveland's poor. He launched town-hall meetings to touch people for volunteer work at city hall. He bewitched the audience of Captain Cleveland, a kiddie video show advocating good citizenship.

Oscar is the kind of host who offers his card-playing buddies green sandwiches that were "either very new cheese or very old meat." Felix is Mr. Clean, an uptight neurotic ("the only man in the world with clenched hair") who does all the shopping and cooking and charges the cigar-smoky atmosphere with deodorizer until his roommate mumbles: "Leave everything alone. I'm not through dirtying up for the night...
