...statewide races nowadays do their best to avoid neighborhood coffee klatsches as too time-consuming in terms of voters palmed per hour.

The tensions of such a life forced him to get a nightly ten hours of sleep, sweated a pound off him at every 18-minute performance, and earned him wildly varying sums of money. The Ringling Brothers Circus was paying him only...
