...glass lemonade stand on the side, raced around barefoot and carefree. Brother Billy, a Georgia "good ole boy" who runs the family warehouse and a local service station, bantered with the press about the words Cast Iron emblazoned on the T shirt that stretched over his developing paunch. Explained Billy: "It's my CB radio handle. Everybody calls me that because when the fellas come by my place, I'll drink whatever they're drinking -Scotch, bourbon, gin, vodka, blend, anything. So everybody says I've got a cast-iron stomach-which I have...
...Reagan drive is being expertly guided from Washington, D.C., by John Sears, a lawyer whose graying hair and developing paunch make him appear older than his 35 years. A Nixon delegate hunter in 1968 who served briefly as a White House aide later, Sears has shrewdly used his old contacts around the nation to help his present boss.

"Well, occasionally I feel a pang," he admits. "When I heard about Patty Hearst being busted, I thought, son of a bitch, I'd sure like to get my hands on her, you know, for four...
...early novel seems positively pastoral. Two seedy stumblebums named Mercier and Camier, forerunners of Estragon and Vladimir in Godot, set out on a mysterious journey through vaguely Irish scenery. Mercier is "a big bony hank with a beard," and Camier has a "red face, scant hair, four chins, protruding paunch, bandy legs, beady pig eyes." Naturally their amblings attract attention. A policeman who sees them warns: "This is a sidewalk, not a circus ring...
