Udall demonstrated in Michigan that he cannot be taken for granted; he keeps on coming. Brown showed in Maryland that he can have wide appeal. He won Scoop Jackson's lunch-bucket crowd, Mo Udall's suburban Volvo votaries, and cut deeply into Carter's ghetto constituency; Catholics also flocked to the former Jesuit seminarian...
When more than a dozen apparently unexplainable deaths occurred among patients at tiny Riverdell Hospital in suburban Oradell, N.J., in 1965-66, a young doctor finally decided to act on his suspicions. Opening the chief surgeon's locker, he found 18 mostly empty vials of curare-a highly lethal drug sometimes used in small doses to relax muscles during surgery. No charges were ever brought against the surgeon -who explained he was merely using the relaxant for experiments on dogs...
...When am I going home?" asked twelve-year-old Ya Hinh, just eight weeks after arriving in the suburban New York home of Janet and Louis Marchese. Hinh, called Keith by the Marcheses, was one of some 2,000 Vietnamese children airlifted to the U.S. in Operation Babylift as Saigon fell to the Communists in the spring of 1975.

He had methodized and refined basketball so that fat, second-rate coaches would quote his book glowingly at basketball camps, boys would imitate over-the-shoulder and slow, funny-looking foul shots, and--Bradley now realizes--fathers would allow a fifty cent paperback with pictures to replace them. His hook shot, as he diagrammed it, evolved in nine parts; he exercised his peripheral vision by identifying trees across the street...
