About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 When a man gives up drugs, he wants big fires in his life. I have ordered more speakers to go with my new McIntosh amp, and a fifty watt boombox for the FM car radio.
#2 The District of Columbia has become the Rape Capital of the World. Meanwhile, things like burglaries, street muggings, and random assaults are so common that they are no longer considered news.
#3 I arrived in Washington, D. C. , not long after dawn, when the city was mostly asleep. I was hauling a huge orange U-haul trailer full of books and papers. I was slow and helpless because the Volvo wasn’t made for this kind of work.
#4 The author was asked to help drum up cash for a venture that would shuttle cars between Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland. He was told that he could make a fortune if he could gather enough money to set up a shuttle service. He was curious about the two men who were waiting for help, so he went back to check on them.

I arrived in Washington, D. C. , not long after dawn, when the city was mostly asleep. I was hauling a huge orange U-haul trailer full of books and papers. I was slow and helpless because the Volvo wasn’t made for this kind of work.

The author was asked to help drum up cash for a venture that would shuttle cars between Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland. He was told that he could make a fortune if he could gather enough money to set up a shuttle service. He was curious about the two men who were waiting for help, so he went back to check on them.
#5
I finally got a job, after twelve years. I was a male prostitute, and I was laughing because I was so happy that I had finally found Jesus. Lester and Jerry, my friends, were headed for Baltimore.
#6
I was going to Washington to cover the 1972 presidential campaign for Rolling Stone. I was nervous about meeting people and working with a Doberman Pinscher with bad bowels, but I wanted to at least try the trip.
#7
The underculture in Washington is scattered around different far-flung neighborhoods. The only thing resembling a crossroads is the area around Dupont Circle, downtown. The only people I know who live down there are Nicholas Von Hoffman and Jim Flug, Teddy Kennedy’s hyperactive Legislative Assistant.
#8
The Underculture vote is behind Ted Kennedy, and is causing genuine alarm among Bigwigs and pros in both parties. The mention of Kennedy’s name gives Nixon bad cramps.
#9
The Nixon/Mitchell team has reduced the U. S. Supreme Court to the level of a poor bowling team in Memphis. This disastrous shift of federal decision-making powers won’t take effect until the spring of 1972.
#10
The effects of this takeover are potentially so disastrous that there is no point in even speculating on the fate of some misguided geek who might want to take his Illegal Search Seizure case all the way to the top.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
The youth vote is being taken very lightly by politicians and press lords, who believe that most of the young people who will vote in 1972 will vote for the same old candidates.
#2
The Youth Caucus was planning a press conference in Washington to announce their support for Hubert Humphrey and Jackson, if they came around to the right positions. I asked them if they would support Humphrey if he won the Democratic nomination. They said they might.
#3
The fat-cat action is still one of the most dramatic aspects of a presidential campaign, but the tension is leaking away because most of the serious fat cats figured out a few years ago that they could beat the rap by helping two candidates instead of just one.
#4
The possibility of a McCarthy candidacy in 1972 is something like hearing the Hound of the Baskervilles sniffing and pissing around on your porch every night. McCarthy launched a brutish attack on
