...Senate. Rare was the Washington radio which was not tuned to Hugh Johnson's address. Senator Long, by his account to his colleagues next afternoon, almost missed it. "While I was about to undertake to throw myself into the arms of Morpheus," he related, "I thought I heard my name being mentioned over the radio in the next room. I listened for a little while, and, lo and behold, I became convinced that perhaps I was being mentioned...
