Still, Wallace felt sufficiently fit after placing second in the Oregon primary to pose with his family and chat briefly with reporters. "Sorry it had to end this way," he told them. "There won't be any more speeches for you fellows." His wife Cornelia is easily his equal in repartee. She pucked back: "That's all right, George. They're all the same anyway.
