Brushfire Polls

Famous quotes containing the words brushfire and/or polls:

    Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.
    Joan Didion (b. 1935)

    The polls say we are within three points. We haven’t made many converts, but we sure have made a lot of undecided.
    Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)
