Keith Dinsmore, Gephardt's Iowa communications director, cut the deal with Ken Robinson, publisher of the tiny (circ. 1,500) Bayard News.

Around this are displayed the emblems of childhood: a red plastic baseball bat, a father's jacket, a mother's frying pan, a sister's dress and, the play's most symbolic prop, the leather strap.
