But if Republicans were not buying this year's model from Detroit, they were enthusiastic about the "new" Dick Nixon.

Even the Teamsters have not been able to cause much trouble because Hearst has hired non-union drivers to deliver the paper...
...keyboard-where the $ and % signs snuggle in compelling proximity. The principal practitioners of this profitable art are literary agents, the canny manipulators of today's flourishing writer's market. Authors and publishers alike agree that it is the agent who deserves the traditional flyleaf salute to the person without whose aid, comfort, understanding, affection, patience, encouragement and hard-eyed business sense this book could not have been sold...
