...first year, she had 36 papers, including Newsday, the Denver Post, the Minneapolis Star and the Atlanta Constitution. She began to be recognized in supermarkets. One day in 1967, Bombeck remembers, she was kneeling on the floor of the bathroom in Centerville, laying a piece of shag carpet around the toilet, when she heard Arthur Godfrey talking about her first book, At Wit's End, on his radio program. This lady probably lives in an apartment in New York City, Godfrey said. Bombeck wrote to him, confessing the grisly truth, and soon became a regular guest on his program...

While the boxy vehicles had long been used by small businesses for deliveries, in the mid-'70s young buyers turned them into a Pop art form. They tarted them up with fanciful decor and shag-rug interiors...
...bombs, the bravery, the rubble, the shortages, the homeless, the signs of rising revolutionary temper."

...spiritually disorienting to see a black driving a car with Alabama plates and a Wallace bumper sticker. It is surreal to walk into Wallace's state campaign headquarters, a neobellum low-rise former furniture store on the edge of Montgomery. There, amid the deep shag carpeting and the clickity-click of computer printers churning out voter lists, sits Mrs. Ollie Carter, a black Wallace worker. All day she phones around the state with a gentle, churchgoing courtesy, asking blacks for their support, reminding them to vote...
