...adding Negroes to the voting rolls, while the old Harry Byrd machine, of which Smith is a prize cog, faces attack from all sides. Smith's district has been reapportioned to his disadvantage since the last election, now includes a large segment of liberally inclined Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington. Nonetheless, Smith's cause, like his equanimity, is far from lost. Much of the district is still rural and conservative, and there is considerable affection for the Bible-quoting, foxy grandpa who still cautions, as he has for years: "It's dangerous to send...
Perched on the rugged shore of Cook Inlet, the remote Alaskan community of Tyonek might well pass for an upper-middle-class Midwestern suburb. Its 60 houses (average price: $25,000), all equipped with modern appliances and television, stand along winding, tree-lined streets. It has a glistening commu nity hall, its own airstrip and guest house. Construction is under way on a modern $737,000 schoolhouse; in the works are a power plant, fire station and store.

Life, as seen from a dull suburb of industrial Nottingham, makes him not angry so much as itching with vague discomfort, as does his hairy tweed suit, which "makes him look as if he had been rolled over by a sheep." He has chronic spiritual snuffles. His novels are about "sensitive provincial types who live far away from where things happen...
...question which liberals most often ask is, what will become of SDS members after they leave the University. Will they flock to the suburbs like their parents, as Kenneth Kenniston predicts, or will they become full-fledged radicals? Ansara suspects that many New Leftists will enter political life. The others will be "politically and socially active in addition to their professions." Ansara foresees a class of lawyers and doctors motivated by social concern rather than economic values who will help organize community projects wherever they may be living. These people, others maintain, will opt for the city instead...
