...Robert Walpole, speaking of his opposition. In Wilbur Mills's case, the price came high: $6 billion sliced from the proposed 1968-69 federal budget of $186 billion. Not a cent less, insists the flinty House Ways and Means Committee chairman, will coax a mulish Congress to stomach a 10% surcharge on personal and corporate income taxes in an election year...

Stranger is actually no stranger at all, but a sloppy copy of such Italian oaters as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
