...picking you up for soliciting, the cops offer to negotiate in the back seat of the squad car. If you score enough point, the wonderful boys in blue could let you off with a warning...then again their promises are pretty worthless and you can find yourself with the 'ol' jailhouse blues anyway," St. James said...
That sort of speech always roused the good ol' boys back home. It was sour mash and corn syrup, ridicule and wit, all the local grievances stirred to a bitter brew. And it went down as well in Massachusetts as it did in Alabama. The Bay State, the only one in the union to vote for McGovern in 1972, seems tailor-made for Wallace in 1976.

His screen career began in 1933 and included success in Sanders of the River, Jericho and King Solomon's Mines...
...vote is all about McMurphy's demand to see the World Series. That's the ticket. What the patients need is good, ol' American team sports. McMurphy seems largely preoccupied with trying to organize basketball games--teaching a big, supposedly deaf and dumb seven foot Indian how to stuff, for example. During the day it's sports, at night it's poker. McMurphy's real problem is that he is a child who never grew up, who believes in the therapeutic power of good team sports. Perhaps this will strike a responsive chord in most audiences. McMurphy's other chief...
