6. National Lampoon had an album that came out around 1972.

called "Radio Dinner" and one segment was a political
convention where we hear one person say.
"Sorry boy, this caucus is for us Caucasians."

11. It reminds me of her
Joanie Caucus is a character in Garry Trudeau's comics strip Doonesbury.




She first appeared in September 1972 in which she has a fight with her husband, Clinton, over her rights as a woman. She finds that her recently acquired feminist beliefs clash with his idea of how a wife should behave, and she promptly walks out on him (and her child). She catches a ride with Mike Doonesbury and Mark Slackmeyer who happen to be traveling cross-country on motorcycle at the time, and travels with them back to Walden Commune.
