...Reagan's daughter Maureen stumped New Jersey last week, stirring echoes from Goldwater days.*She says she is providing information on "how to win elections." Her line of attack: "What we have in America is not new; it's socialism." This seems to be Maureen's version of "the Speech," which her father delivered for Goldwater.

...informant befriended several other members of the executive council and, as a result, was exposed to the detailed plans of the march.

His invasion of the syndicate's impregnable penthouse (carpeted in wall-to-wall red fox fur) begins with a steamy sex wrestle and ends in a superbly vertiginous shot of a naked mobster arcing...
...bucket, Nantucket. This innocent rhyme was instantly followed by innumerable sub-wits who varied the towns (Pawtucket, Manhasset), or thought that they could find a better last line. It is probably one or another coarse version of this that most lim erick fanciers remember...
