...governorship again in 1960 and Cotton's Senate seat in 1962, Powell plainly wanted the state to see who was heading the parade. Just as plainly, if anything should go wrong with the Nixon vote in New Hampshire, the state could look forward to the biggest pile-up since a freight train hit Barnum & Bailey's "Jumbo...
...Roberts is the boss. Neither he nor the building looks the part-nor, for that matter, does the Star look much like the usual daily newspaper. Roberts is rumpled and jowly, the very image of a ward politician-a role he loves to play.

The Plymouth will eventually join the junk pile, and, remelted, may yet become a bridge. The setting is the North Side approach to Pittsburg's Manchester Bridge, leading to the Golden Triangle...
...Pile of Rocks. Soldiers and demonstrators scuffled over the flag. One flag planter got jabbed by a G.I. bayonet; furious, the rioters stoned the G.I.s. Screaming and singing Panama's national anthem, they ran down Fourth of July Avenue; many rioters turned back into Panama City to smash and loot windows of jewelry and department stores...
