Last month he went to Yugoslavia to sign a treaty of "constant and perpetual friendship." He returned desperately ill-from something he had eaten, no doubt. Uremic poisoning followed.

On one side of the centre aisle sat 162 Republicans, two less than last year; on the other, 268 Democrats. Only time there was silence was when Texas' Sam Rayburn, elected Speaker by virtue of the Democratic majority, rose to speak. Rayburn declared...
