...part of the Constitution as the provisions prescribing how members of Congress shall be chosen. If every person who utilized those provisions of the Constitution by becoming a candidate for Congress were to be subjected to penalties such as loss of employment, public ignominy, refusal of a passport, and similar disabilities, the unsoundness of such a policy would be obvious to all. Yet public opinion is apparently willing to tolerate legislation and practices inflicting those consequences upon persons who similarly utilize another portion of the Constitution. This is as irrational as if a university were to expend great effort...

...River Stay 'way from My Door, it is brother Ira's harum-scarum pal "V.R." who puts the town in a tizzy by seeming to drown in the Skunk River. Unlike Mark Twain, who allowed Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn to attend their own funeral after a similar drowning escapade, Author Kentfield arranges a highly un-Twainlike denouement. Seems that V.R. had swum the river to scare one of the town tomgirls into granting him her favors. In a third story that brakes compassion just short of tears, Ira himself leaves his mother lonely and heartbroken by bolting...
