"When Carter goes down," he said wryly, "I go up." He had another thought about that. "The press made Jimmy Carter, and now they're trying to destroy him. I'm going to set my own course...
...Summer Times as a newspaper for the children at the Summer School to put out. Just who does this Mr. Connally think he is? His vituperation and bile are, I believe, unsurpassed by those of anyone else on your staff--Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney indeed!!!

Night after night from the instant campgrounds across Iowa arose a bizarre melange of aromas: marijuana, freshly baked cookies, barbecues, sweat and suntan oil. Some folks thought the fragrance should be bottled...
...price he keeps to himself, bought it. Says he: "They tore down the wall and shipped it to me wrapped like fine china." Patey's idea, actually, was to use the wall to create publicity for a Roaring Twenties restaurant he was representing, but the restaurant owner thought the whole idea was, well, perhaps a little too roaring. "So I just kept it," Patey recalls. He reassembled the wall and showed it at a wax museum, with gun-wielding gangsters shooting each other in front of it to the accompaniment of recorded bangs.
