...moment, the regulars didn't give much of a hang about the issues. What they liked was that both Barry Goldwater and Sherman Adams tub-thumped in the manner that old-style Republicans remembered-and like, especially at campaign time. Both had raised more G.O.P. whoops and hollers, had churned up more Democratic outrage than a lethargic, dispirited party had heard in a long time...

I sing sad songs saddest when I'm happy") and do a very fair imitation of throaty, top-ranking Jazz Singer June Christy. To the tub-thumping rhythm of an intense promotional campaign by RCA Victor, Jennie just finished a month of bouncing about the country buttering up disk jockeys and celebrating the release of her first LP (called Jennie, and decorated with a torchlit photo of its star nervously inhabiting a low-cut black gown...
