...last day of his quest, George McGovern hurtled across the country in a fishhook pattern: New York City, Philadelphia, Wichita, Kans., Long Beach, Calif., and then eastward again to Sioux Falls, S. Dak. He covered 4,399 miles in that final exhausting spasm, as if to demonstrate his fealty to the crusade through its crushing climax. He still posed the question in terms of morality and righteousness; Richard Nixon was guilty of the "big lie" in general and of "deliberate conniving deception" concerning the Viet Nam negotiations. At one point he talked about how Lincoln put his faith...

The Boeing Airplane Co., which has construction under way at nearby missile sites, gave $10,000, and Boeing employees donated $50,000. About 50 morticians from up to 100 miles away worked together on the grim task of preparing bodies for burial. The First National Bank...
Reynolds has been able to promote Winchesters in a brassy television ad campaign in test markets, including Boston, Dayton, New York City, Sacramento, Calif., and Sioux City, Iowa. The commercials feature a tall, lean cowboy who looks like a refugee from Marlboro country. He pops out of nowhere and steals another man's girl at the beach, on a lonely road or at a sidewalk café. Each time, the silent, saturnine cowboy offers the girl a Winchester; the two take a few puffs, exchange febrile glances and go off together as the announcer chants...
