...immaculately conceived in Tommy's Lunch. I swear to God this is true. I appeared, rather suddenly and dramatically, in that tiny space behind the jukebox. It was late at night. Tommy wasn't there. If Tommy had been there it would have been over in a flash. Tommy doesn't like any mysticism going on in his establishment...

The son of a tenant farmer, Capehart made a fortune selling jukebox equipment and got into politics after organizing a 1938 "cornfield convention" of 20,000 Republicans. As Senator, he supported farm subsidies and helped establish the Small Business Administration. An enthusiastic McCarthyite, Capehart staked his 1962 senatorial campaign on a tough anti-Cuba stand ("invade or blockade") and lost narrowly to young Birch Bayh when President Kennedy's embargo of Cuba took away his thunder...
