...Kooks. Streaking, in a sense, is just what the Alabama Governor is doing. Despite mild disclaimers, he is running hard for a place on the Democratic national ticket in 1976. For the first time he is given a fair chance-if not for the No. 1 spot, then as the vice-presidential candidate. Though he cannot walk unaided and tires fast, Wallace has staged a remarkable comeback. He trails only Senator Edward Kennedy in Democratic Party presidential polls for 1976. Watergate, meanwhile, has alienated many conservatives from the Republican Party, and they may well turn to Wallace as an alternative...
...efforts to aid her. She explains that most of them wanted her to die because they envied her fertility. They themselves could only feel a love that was laden with hate and scorn; thus they were impotent or sterile. Her second pronouncement is harsher, but contained in an incongruously mild aside. Speaking of her husband Francesco, who by the end of the book had wrested command of the troupe from Flaminio Scala, she commented...

In Maine, the Portland Press Herald chided streakers for wearing shoes during one of the mildest Maine winters on record. "We are not opposed to streaking provided it is correctly undertaken and executed with some grace," the paper editorialized. "If you streak, have the common decency...
...everyone who is in cahoots with criminals, including innocent party girls. Harry, who still loves his Magnum 44 with the passion Clint Eastwood usually reserves for faithful animals, refuses to go along with them. "Nothing's wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot," says the mild Harry. This statement, along with "I hate the goddamn system, but I'll stick with it until something better comes along," is a constant refrain. Milius must hope that such repetition will coerce us to believe that Harry holds a full-dress trial in his head before he shoots...
