...some places, they already have been. In 1920, when Guatemalan Dictator Manuel Estrada Cabrera was over thrown, market women joined the mob that lynched several of his Cabinet ministers. In 1954 they staged demonstrations that helped bring down the Communist Arbenz regime. In Nicaragua, one Nicolasa Sacasa leads a strong-armed squad of market women in battles against opponents of the Somoza family. And aspiring politicians, far and wide, pay court to the market woman, hoping that she will pass along a favorable word with the groceries...

When Ike and Mamie walked into the banquet hall, Goldwater applauded enthusiastically.

Every year, Ostend had a carnival whose revelers, it seemed to him, lost their sense of identity behind their garish masks.
