...Dream? The streets were full of happy drunks, but even those who had not touched a drop seemed high?gripped by a crisis-born spirit of camaraderie and exhilaration. In Brooklyn, a meat market donated a whole pig to a neighboring convent, thus providing everybody for blocks around with a snack of roast pork. Manhattan's Four Seasons Restaurant, where prices are rarely mentioned because so few would believe them, dispensed soup free of charge; at "21," where the only drink on the house is water, they passed out steak sandwiches and free libations without limit...

In his apocalyptic La Dolce Vita, as in the wildly self-centered 8$, his flair for baroque theatrical effects seemed to be a secondary characteristic of genius, the manner but not the meat of it.

They had carefully set up another Dong Xoai-style battle, hoping to draw relief force after relief force into a merciless meat grinder. At 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 19, the Reds turned the handle...
...first things Floyd Handshoe did after joining the Happy Pappies was to buy a $300 freezer-on credit. It contains no meat as yet. He was "aiming to kill that bull calf and a hog" in October, he explains, "but I got to looking at the moon. You can't kill no meat on the new of the moon. It will be tough. I studied the calendar and the almanac, and the soonest I can do it is around the ninth or tenth of next month." Then there is the hillbilly's fundamentalist religion, ever inveighing against sins...
