...whole episode of the misplaced documents might have been dismissed by the FBI'S critics as a regrettable oversight, but for the hostility that the bureau demonstrated toward King over the years. Thus filing away the reports was a mistake that the FBI could not afford to make...
...easy to diagnose such nominal absurdity, but plainly it is epidemic. Already the name thing has inspired the publication of whole books that purport to plumb the "psychological vibrations" of personal names. Dawn and Loretta and Candy are supposed to be sexy, according to Christopher Andersen's The Name Game, and Bart and Mac and Nate are macho. Humphrey is sedentary; so much for Bogart. Anyway Americans have not needed any tracts or theories to get them lunging after catchy handles. One Phoenix mother recently branded her new baby girl with the unforgettable sobriquet Equal Rights Amendment...

The book is so rich in social detail that it brings a whole fictional town, Dacron, Ohio, to life. The new Sunday Newspaper Parody is the Dacron Republican-Democrat (slogan: One of America's Newspapers). The two parodies take aim at small-town American life in the '70's with the same spirit, and occasionally some of the pathos, of Sinclair...
