Typescript of "Newer Politics"
1975. Seven pages of typescript humorously taking to task our motivations for selecting our elected officials, and nowhere near as outdated as it ought to be more than a quarter century later: "The real reason Ford has my vote is the way he can toss out the ball on opening day of the baseball season -- that natural, flowing motion, and a follow-through that looks instinctive. I just don't think this country can afford to be led by someone who throws like a girl." Folded, with editorial marks. Together with the galley sheets with a few corrections by the author, and a typed note signed as "Bud Trillin," transmitting the galleys and explaining his resistance to a couple of the suggested changes. The lot is near fine. [#013858] SOLD
