Alioto was there with his sound truck running for mayor. We mentioned
over the loudspeaker his interest in the California Rice Coop which
was raking in big bucks selling rice for Viet Nam. Seems the rice in
Viet Nam had been defoliated and these patriots were rushing to fill
the void at a tidy profit.
Alioto left his soundtruck and walked over to where I was sitting in
the driver's seat in the P&F truck, leaned his head in the window and,
from a distance of about two inches said: "What's the matter with you?
You got death wish?"
What a guy, that Joe! We won't see his likes again.
We registered his kid in P&F later and he threatened to disinherit
him.
