...week of touring the capital's historical sites and sitting through speeches by prominent pols (including then Rep. Gerald R. Ford (R.-Mich.)) with a day following our senators around the Hill. Since Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D.-Minn.) was away campaigning for the presidency, both Minnesota delegates were pawned off on the senior "Gopher State" senator, "Fritz" Mondale, who took on the tour-guide task with an amiability that eased our initial disappointment at the legendary HHH's absence...
MAINE'S MUSKIE, 62. A bruised veteran of presidential politics, Muskie sparkled as Hubert Humphrey's 1968 running mate, but stumbled in his own reach for the top in 1972.

Predictably, it authenticates much of the best...
...Johnson's Vice President, the Oval Office was only a step-and a heartbeat-away. But Johnson made immediately clear what their relationship would be: master and vassal. Shortly after the 1964 convention that nominated them, L.B.J. drove Humphrey around his Texas ranch. Spotting a deer, Johnson shouted: "Hubert, there's one for you. Get it!" The very thought of shooting a living creature repelled him, but Humphrey obeyed. Then, as he tells it: "I turned to Johnson with a mixture of satisfaction at having done so well what he wanted and revulsion at having killed the deer...
