But it killed his punch line." For restraining himself, McMahon is well reimbursed. Just as Announcer Hugh Downs rose from the brow of Jack Paar to become a TV "personality" (Today, Concentration), McMahon is now a "star."

He retains the stocky build, the rugged appearance and vigor of his football days on the Michigan varsity. And his earnest squarely-cut brow wrinkles in disappointment at the first sign of ideological disagreement. He likes folksy, apple pie and ice cream humor (Any aspirations in the executive branch, Mr. minority leader? "Oh no fellas, my wife wouldn't let me.")
