...earful of erotica that would have titillated Freud and Krafft-Ebing. One woman confessed that she let her husband think that he was hypnotizing her during the sexual act. Another said that she solved her daughter's marital problems by going to bed with her son-in-law. "That's a melter, Vicki," cooed Ballance. "I think that's neat." Not quite neat enough, however. Next day the daughter called in enraged. "Oh-oh," Ballance said. "And did your dad hear her on the air?" "He certainly did," said the daughter, "and so did his whole construction...
...union headquarters, where a special $20,000 "research and information fund" was set up to pay for the murder.

But for all the loud confusion, when tired, old Charlie Chaplin made his way out at last, shielded by policemen and supported by his wife and son-in-law, his face was alight with pleasure...
...favorite son-in-law candidate from next door Maine, Muskie had to win big in New Hampshire. His disappointing 48% of the vote raised doubts as to whether he could sew up the Democratic nomination before the convention. One reason why Muskie slumped in New Hampshire was his effort to campaign simultaneously in several other states with upcoming primaries, particularly Florida. An easily fatigued campaigner who complains about his "mad schedule," he spent only 13 days stumping in New Hampshire this year as compared with Senator George McGovern's 24, thus spreading himself too thin. McGovern, on the other...
