...have started with the blue jeans and the cardigan sweater. Then came the town meetings with hand-carried suit bag, a glass of milk and a bed with local folks. The afternoon of the national call-in with Walter Cronkite at his side was another part of being Jimmy on the spot, the man of the people...
...trying to persuade trade and professional groups to gather in the Big Apple. The Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau also has a field force of five convention hunters out plugging the Big Peach. Miami employs four to tout the Big Orange, while Waikiki sent a representative to Austria to bag the Lions International for the Big Pineapple...
From there on, after about a week's training the patient can take over himself by attaching to the tube a small plastic bag containing two liters (about two quarts) of a special solution similar to the dialysate, or blood-cleansing fluid, used in kidney machines.

The tube is then clamped off, and the patient folds up the empty bag into a neat package that he wears beneath the clothing...
