...Kentucky mountain town of Hazard one day last week, an old coal miner walked up to a minor commotion on the sidewalk and stuck out his hand. "I hear you're running for governor,'' he said to the grinning, greying man in the center of the crowd. Albert Benjamin Chandler, 56, clutched the miner's hand and encircled his waist with a powerful left arm. "The rumor's out, is it?" he said. "Well, I'm trying to spread...
...prosperity. We must be a party of principle and program-and that we have not been. We cannot do it by this form of political cannibalism in which we spend our time chewing each other up."

When he looked into the shaving mirror each morning, the face he saw was that of a total stranger. Sometimes, to get visual proof that he was looking at himself. J.S. stuck out his tongue: the face in the mirror did the same. But J.S. simply could not recognize himself or his wife. This caused trouble, when, for instance, they took different aisles in the supermarket and agreed to meet at the checkout. Since then. J.S. rarely speaks (especially to a lady) until he is spoken to. He would have the same trouble with his children, but they are young...
