Says Lodge: "You've got to stand toe to toe with them and slug it out in terms of schedule, of hours, of energy, and of just plain determination." Dynastic Theme. Lodge intends to hit hard at Kennedy's lack of experience and the dynasty theme ("I'm not part of any dynasty. I don't have a brother in the White House"). Said he in his convention speech: "I am here because I am angered by the callous manner in which a single family has grasped for personal power; because I am amazed that their...
...There is surely a difference between being a fanatic for freedom and being a fanatic for slavery."

...bald, unprepossessing man who looked like a half brother to both Adlai Stevenson and Alfred Hitchcock, Giesler delivered his exhortations to juries in a crescendoing whine, sometimes trailing off into the deep purple. He defended Walter Wanger after the jealous producer fired a -38-cal. slug into the groin of a fellow whom he considered too attentive to his wife, Joan Bennett. Giesler decided this was temporary insanity. "For a brief mo ment," he told the jury, "through the violet haze of early evening, Wanger saw things in a bluish flash." The jury some how saw it that...
