These lists are supplemented with the names of the non-registered, who then become the target of a massive telephone survey. In 1970, for example, Valentine, Sherman & Associates, the firm that worked on Humphrey's return to the Senate, called and classified people in more than 750,000 homes in Minnesota...
...give you a peso if you can knock him out. I mean cold." Nápoles figures that he won 20 cold pesos that way. Ramos was less fortunate. Son of a police sergeant who sired 53 children, he remembers: "Every time I got ready to punch a kid, the kid would say, 'You can't hit me. I'm your brother...
