It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play.
