...hustings, speaking in his raspy voice, Branigin says of Kennedy and McCarthy: "They are tourists in Indiana, and should be treated as such. We don't mind them having a fight here, but we don't want them to carry away the arena." He reserves his choicest thrusts for Kennedy. "I really don't think they can buy Indiana, but they're going to try.
