Another Raw Deal’s patrons mostly are liberal Tex ans, which means they do not favor neckties or the Vietnam war but are willing to live on the same planet with New York and even Los Angeles and just possibly the Texas Aggies. The atmosphere of Another Raw Deal and the politics of its liberals might be seen in the last two nights the customers stomped, hollered and whooped with joy. “The night Abbie Hoffman reappeared. What grand entertainment!” Morgan said. “And don’t forget the night the Americans beat the Russians in hockey at Lake Placid,” said customer Edwin A. (Bud) Shrake, novelist, movie writer and host of Austin’s nightly moveable feast. “Those are the only good things that happened in the whole world this year,” Morgan said. Shrake, 49 and at 6-foot-5 as tall as Texans should be and in politics somewhere south of H. L. Mencken, looked at his beer. “Carter is the anti-Christ. He poses as a saint. He’s really a devil,” said Shrake, who voted for Carter four years ago. Is Shrake now for Reagan? “No, I am not. I was until he actually got nominated. ” Why? “The press told me to be for him.” Is that really why? “Well, no. He also was the handsomest and wittiest. ” Shrake stopped talking when a waiter served him a dish listed on the wall blackboard as “Fried Things.” The dish held chicken-fried chicken breasts, zucchini (Another Raw Deal has that kind of University of Texas smarts that says zucchini instead of squash, as the Aggies say), mushrooms and onions. The Austin night lengthened. At Schultz’ Beer Garden, another political spa where Texas liberals drink and deal with an Alamo seige men tality, the pitchers were put on a table. There were no pitchers at The Quorum, the Austin political restaurant- bar where the customers are rather often more conser vative; neckties are in at The Quorum. Nick Kralj, owner, toastmaster and bouncer of The Quorum, sat at a downstairs table bellowing at Shrake, a reporter and a former chairman of the University of Texas Board of Regents, a body as mighty in Texas as the College of Cardinals is in Rome. “We don’t think Reagan is worth a (expletive),” said Kralj, who like some other Texas liberals drives a Cadil lac limousine. The former regents chairman, once a chief lieutenant to President Lyndon B. Johnson and John Connally, made his first awful face. What about Texan George Bush running as Reagan’s vice presidential mate? Kralj suddenly looked like a lion with a thorn in its paw. He ordered a waiter to fetch a drink named the Ankle Breaker as a foreward to talking about Houston’s George Bush. An Ankle Breaker consists of 150 proof rum and other things. “George Bush, God love him, is the only Yankee who claims to be a Texan who wears penny loafers with his tuxedo,” Kralj said. “I’ve seen George Bush do it.” The ex-regents chairman made a second awful face. “Bush ain’t no more a Texan than a Kennedy from Boston,” Kralj said. “A movie star and a fake Texan ain’t gonna get it down here in Texas. As many mistakes as he has made, Jimmy Carter will take Texas. “Carter has done made his mistakes. America couldn’t stand having the movie star and the fake Texan make their mistakes now. ” The former regents’ chairman made a third awful face. He predicted that Texas, which went for Carter in 1976, would go for Reagan in 1980. He then drank an Ankle Breaker and went home in Kralj’s Cadillac.
