Gov. Pettigrew is in a live television debate with Sen. Oilengass and flounders when asked a tough question. As the cameras go to commercial, it gives him time to get throat spray. When the cameras return, Pettigrew confronts the senator and finds out that the men making the false charges were both court-martialed for running from battle in Vietnam. Pettigrew visits Arizona and Oregon and has caught fire, knocking Fizz out of the race. As the jet carrying the group flies to Alaska, the pilot reports a complete engine flameout. The jet is losing altitude and heading into Mt. McKinley.

Indexer Notes

Max Pine was an alias of Frank Moss, per 2006 interview with Frank Borth: "You can find out in reading your things he also uses the word Max Pine as a substitute for him because he didn't want them to think he was writing everything in the place..." http://cuislandora.wrlc.org/islandora/object/cuislandora%3A40849
