...Where You From?" Romney, jaunting from mess hall to hospital ward, shook hands with hundreds and passed out countless Michigan-state medallions graven with his name. But he often seemed more like a thoughtless than a thoughtful candidate. At the military hospital at Danang, he marched under the glare of television lights into a ward for seriously wounded U.S. servicemen. He glad-handed one Marine and asked: "Where are you from?" but the soldier could not answer because he had a tracheotomy tube protruding from his throat. "Where were you injured?" the Governor asked another patient, whose bleeding neck...

Lucey of San Antonio recently denounced it as "openly heretical" on at least two counts. McKenzie retorted that Lucey should either withdraw his complaints or make formal charges of heresy to Rome...
...adapt to it or it destroys them. In On the Yard, this inescapable fact is driven home by the sadistic breaking of "Chilly Willy," a boss con who traffics in cigarettes and Benzedrine inhalers. Prison officials frame him in a homosexual plot, and he is shunted into the psychiatric ward. Though a swift, engrossing narrative in its own right, Braly's novel stands as a caustic indictment of the American penal system. From Dostoevsky to Genet, writers have used prison as an effective metaphor of the human condition. Braly strips away the literary conceits and makes life...
