Johnson's idea was to expand previous plans and set up an eight-man special select committee (four Democrats, four Republicans) and he quickly convinced the Democratic Policy Committee. Almost as quickly he named his team: Tennessee's Albert Gore (probable chairman), Massachusetts' John Kennedy, Arkansas' John McClellan, New Mexico's Clinton Anderson. Minority Leader Bill Knowland readily agreed to the Johnson plan.

As things turn out, the script is not referring to Lana-just some wild pig. So the boar gores, but the gore bores, and the only consolation is offered by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, who is all dressed up like a wizard and looks sorry he did it, even for all that money.
