...None of this mattered much to some of Eugene McCarthy's disappointed supporters, and their leader's stubborn and unorthodox refusal to endorse Humphrey fed their bitterness. For the most adamant in this group, the only hope was to organize a new party, even if it meant a Republican victory...
Townsend engineered Chrysler's comeback by combining novel marketing techniques with stability in product lines. An innovation, company-owned dealerships where there were none before, has paid off handsomely. Chrysler now has 512 dealers either leased or controlled by the company, and they account for some 27% of sales. Another innovation, the offer of a five-year or 50,000-mile warranty to customers, turned out to be one of the cleverest gimmicks in auto history. Insurance premiums to cover costs of repairs are, of course, included in the price that the buyer pays...
...excess. That's what makes adolescents so saddening and maddening-and adolescence such a groovy movie subject.

Although he scribbled furiously all of his short life (twelve volumes of novels, poems, sketches, short stories), none of his later works ever remotely approached the success of The Red Badge, written before he had ever heard a shot fired in anger. When he died of tuberculosis in a German sanatorium on June 5, 1900, not yet 29, he was destitute and had been begging money from his literary friends, including Henry James and Joseph Conrad. His brother had to pay to have his body brought home to New Jersey for burial. It was the sort...
