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. I've heard that the Kennedys paid $2,000,000 more for West Virginia than Thomas Jefferson paid for the entire Louisiana purchase...
