...clean Republican sweep of the Democratic South this autumn is as unlikely as polar bears on Peachtree Street. Nevertheless, the South is unusually restless politically. Nixon, in two trips to Dixie, has attracted more attention than Dwight Eisenhower did in the early stages of his campaigns. Poll after poll reports so many Southerners "undecided" that the Battle for the South could become the most fascinating and far-reaching of the year...
...Stanton's manifesto, the suffrage struggle raged on for half a century under the leadership of such doughty heroines as Amelia Bloomer and Susan B. Anthony. In 1869 the Wyoming territorial legislature passed a female suffrage bill, and in 1870 Louisa Ann Swain of Laramie put on a clean apron and became the first American woman ever to cast a vote in an election.

...four years later opened his own hot dog stand on Coney Island with a $300 stake. When suspicious customers wondered how he sold hot dogs for 5? (v. the standard 10? price), Handwerker used a trick that some TV advertisers tried 20 years later. He hired students, had them clean up and dress in white jackets to look like doctors. Then they stood around eating Nathan's hot dogs in full view of passersby...
