...FLUKE, By George has to be a happy one; if a precedent, it should be praised to the skies. By which I don't mean to invite a chain of one-man Bernard Shaw impersonations, but of other free entertainments equally worthwhile. A tall order, maybe, but not hopelessly impractical. Not quite.

...tried very hard to get enough rest, but suntan and rest cannot conceal the fact that Richard Nixon is an unattractive man. As he strolled up the center aisle of the Somerset, wisps of curly black Nixon hair were barely visible between the shoulders of the tall secret service men who surrounded the candidate. When Nixon finally reached the stage, he stood alone, unconcealed, pathetic...
