Reagan accuses Brown of being too far left and talks about a "morality gap" in Sacramento. Brown says Reagan is a right-wing extremist and, if elected, would "disrupt radically the quality of life in California." Some rabid Brown backers have retouched photographs to show Reagan with a Hitler-like forelock and moustache; some far-out Reagan supporters display bumper stickers proclaiming: IF IT'S BROWN, FLUSH IT. Brown insists that the main issue is Reagan's glaring inexperience in government. Reagan retorts that the main issue is the persistent bumbling of Brown...

As the rabid Red Guards continued to root out real or imagined foes of Mao Tse-tung everywhere, reports from the northwestern city of Sian told of a three-day clash between revolutionary students and provincial party leaders who refused to go along with their idiotic demands. To humiliate the bureaucrats, the students finally staged a mass hunger strike in front of party headquarters.

Python & Enchantress. Price's story tells of a rambling, weekend hunt for a rabid dog that has bolted into the pinewoods, for the dog's dimwitted, devoted master, Milo's brother, who has bolted too, and for an 18-ft., 280-lb. python named Death that has escaped from the county fairgrounds and is the slithering, ravenous reason for their flight. Milo himself would rather pursue his affair, begun two days before, with the 16-year-old daughter of the python's proprietress, but family fealty prevails over private pleasure. With the town's aging...
