...time by his wife Joan, Kennedy stumped with McGovern through seven states. He helped to bring out the crowds in validation of a lingering family magic, warmed them up with some of the old self-deprecating one-liners ("It just shows what it is to have a famous brother-in-law"), and then introduced the candidate with a gusto that sometimes left McGovern in an uncomfortable backwash of anticlimax. In Pittsburgh, McGovern was practically bowled over by a woman who rushed up to Ted and cried, "Oh, Senator, we can hardly wait until 1976!" Then the woman apologized to McGovern...
Meanwhile, Yokoi is at loose ends. He gets up at 4 a.m., as he did in the jungle, takes walks, and spends hours weeding the yard in front of the house he shares with his brother-in-law.

His unceasing drive soured many personal relationships, including those with his brother-in-law, who dropped out of the business, and with former Governor Ralph M. Paiewonsky, who accepted his resignation from the commerce commission. But Kimelman caught the SAMMA fancy of Stewart Udall, then the Interior Secretary, who hired him as his aide.
