...ideal Radical Voice for your TV show or street corner rally. He's still a newsman, but the news has changed: "Strong personal generators can be had for under $35... there is free music in the spheres, not to mention the public libraries." He's still moralizing, but the pitch is individualistic. "What you think is... of no bearing to another other than yourself....

He raised to an art the hit-and-run play, in which the runner breaks for the next base as the pitch is thrown, while the batter tries to confound the defense by hitting the ball just behind him.
