...this thing will work again. Since February and the days when Hershey told us we all had to go, only one thing has changed--we have been successful. Everyone wants to be on our side, really to put us on their side. We are being sucked up into the womb again, back to where we came from, safe and sound. But don't let them fool us: we are alone. And until we realize it, these will remain the worst of times, even though the war is over...
...reporters were "crybabies" it was principally because the McCarthy organization did a poor job of feeding them the Pablum which is the constant diet of most newsmen covering campaigns. Most reporters--particularly those from the wire services and the second-rate dailies--remain encased in the womb of the press bus or plane and file a stream of speech stories, color stories, and isolated voter reaction stories fed to them in press releases or by word of mouth by the candidate's press staff.

...reducing exterior pressure on the abdominal wall, Heyns hoped to allow it to protrude further, accommodating the changing shape of the womb. He and his colleagues put together a crude decompression device, tried it out on several expectant mothers. Sure enough, it produced a dramatic shortening in the duration of labor, reduced discomfort, and brought the women who submitted to the tests into the final stages of birth in a more relaxed and vigorous state. Word of the boon soon spread...
