After studies in Hue and Saigon, Ho worked his way as a cabin boy aboard a ship to Europe. There, supporting himself with odd jobs (pastry cook at London's Carlton Hotel, photo retoucher in Paris), he became enamored of Communism as the means of overthrowing his country's imperialist burden...
...principal target of Rocky's campaign is Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater-an old political enemy, but also the man who has the best chance of persuading rebellious Republican conservatives to stick with the party. Rocky and Barry would seem to constitute the odd couple of the G.O.P. In 1964 Rockefeller, then New York Governor, was jeered by the conservative-dominated convention.

And despite some odd lapses in his memory, Connally proved to be the more credible. Jacobsen testified that Connally asked him for money shortly after the milk price support increase. The Associated Milk Producers' chief lobbyist, Bob Lilly, testified that he gave Jacobsen $10,000 for Connally in April 1971. Jacobsen claimed that he turned the money over to Connally in two $5,000 installments on May 14 and Sept...
