Until the twin attempts on Ford, some analysts argued that only certain kinds of Presidents attracted assassins, unlocking the combination of mental imbalances that turns a misfit into a maniac.

And it is notable?and paradoxical?that there were no attempts on the lives of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, who were not well-liked as Presidents and came to arouse venomous passions in large parts of the population.

...twin figures of Love and Evil, gyrating in painted ecstacy on Wizard's backboard, could not preside over a scene of more nearly apocalyptic import. It will never again be possible to construct a pinball machine with the relatively simple patterns we are familiar with--one bumper, regardless of sequence, predictably changing the value of another.

...come as a shock to his loyally pious fans, many of whom presumably associate priestly dropouts with apostasy. Unlike many liberals, however, Lyons is following the proper rules for leaving. In his heyday, Lyons was a formidable figure in conservative Catholicism. With Schick Razor King Patrick Frawley, Lyons started Twin Circle in 1967, served as its editor and got Frawley to take over the Register in 1970. He also raised money from conservatives to buy the 77-year-old priests' monthly, Homiletic and Pastoral Review...
