...York, scene of the disaster, Manhattan papers scrambled to make up for lost time. The Times crammed 14 stories and 250 column inches on the slump into a single issue. With less space to play with, the Herald Tribune still broke out in a rash of eight stories, as well as a Page One editorial blaming the decline on President Kennedy ("Unease about Mr. Kennedy's course is undeniably a major factor"). Hearst's Journal-American waved one streamer after another, in appropriate red ink. But behind all this breathless coverage lay a fact in which...
Billie Sol tried his best to talk back. He brought in a new editor, Tracy Sloan Byers from Odessa.

Undigested lumps of Marx and Freud swallowed in youth appear to catalyze these prosy nightmares.
