...figures were not clear cause for Democratic jubilance. Republicans generally did far better on the Democratic ballot than Democrats did on the G.O.P. ticket, and the Republicans' total two-party vote was substantially higher. For governor, the count was: on the Republican ticket, well-known Republican Knight 1,083,733, little-known Democrat Richard Graves 104,683; on the Democratic ticket, Graves 791,777, Knight 667,375. The primary results indicated that the dual primary victories will become a rarity, but they did not show that the G.O.P. was losing its grip in California. Best proof: Knight...

...drive for thoroughness, though, 318 has sacrificed any attempt at good literary style. The review of the year, for instance, can catch the mood of the year when written well. 318, however, has abandoned efforts at coherent styling. A series of items--jolly-ups, biddies, football ticket scandals, the Yale weekend--appear in a crude sort of stream of consciousness which is vague enough now and will not mean anything a few years hence.
