...back to Manhattan and resumed his wicked ways. At a recent White Russian New Year's ball at the Ambassador Hotel, Serge turned up with seven girls. It was his habit to distribute house keys to his inamoratas (so that he would not have to trouble himself to walk downstairs when he summoned one late at night).

Folksy Folsom campaigned as "the little man's big friend" and won in a walk. He said nothing about segregation, won both the Negro and white-supremacy vote. He pleased prohibitionists by denouncing liquor ads and delighted drinkers by hinting of price cuts in the state liquor stores...
