...racist won by some sort of fluke, or to say Sickles was whipped by white backlash is just too simple. Maryland is an odd state. It is half-Northern, half-Southern; half-urban, half-rural. The Eastern Shore seems like another world to the suburbanites of Montgomery and Prince Georges counties. The Shore and the southern counties below Washington are solid Dixie. Mahoney won all of these in the primary (except Miles' home county). But why was everyone so surprised? Wallace took 11 of the 12 in 1964. After the election too many people wouldn't look at a plain...
About midnight, five hours after his ad-libbed tribute to Valerie, Chuck Percy wearily returned to his $230,000, three-acre estate, Windward, on the Lake Michigan shore in Chicago's elegant suburb of Kenilworth. Valerie was in her bedroom watching television. She had decided earlier that day not to attend a "Dance-for-Percy" party on the North Shore; she dined at home with two young men who were working for the campaign, and retired shortly after 10 p.m. Her twin sister Sharon was in another room.

...eerie screech of water birds sounded through the open-ended courtroom in Mwanza, a dusty little Tanzanian town on the shore of Lake Victoria. Solemn in his red robes and white wig, British-born Judge Harold Platt, a member of Tanzania's High Court, stepped up to the bench. Ededem Effiwatt, the ponderous, coal-black prosecutor, made ready to represent the state. And an unarmed African policeman stood guard by the prisoner in the dock. Everywhere he looked, Peace Corpsman Bill Haywood Kinsey, 24, a North Carolinian who had been charged with the murder of his wife, was reminded...
