...thought was unfair and vituperative comment about him by the press. Many articles contained partisan statements made by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien and other top Democrats, which Agnew argued had been accepted as fact by the papers that printed them. He was especially incensed by a front-page story in the previous day's New York Times reporting that a majority of Governors at Sun Valley were "full of political complaints," and joked grimly that "the conference should have been held at Death Valley." Too many Republicans made provocative statements, he said, simply...

Though he is still developing, experts agree that he will have no trouble fitting into the pro line-up immediately...
...most of his works in serial form, achieved the same intimate, regular contact with his audience as Scheherazade in his childhood favorite, The Arabian Nights. Dickens kept telling another tale. Jokes and fantasies, social and political critiques, plummy visions of Christmas swept from his pen. He even wrote a front-page article in his own magazine, Household Words, to explain and justify the breaking up of his staunchly Victorian marriage after 22 years...
