...Mayo Clinic for nervous exhaustion. When the McGovern camp learned that the Knight newspapers were ready to break a story on Eagleton's medical history (see THE PRESS), McGovern and his running mate decided to break the news themselves at a press conference in Sylvan Lake, S. Dak. Eagleton described himself as "an intense and hard-fighting person," and added: "I sometimes push myself too far." After his successful 1960 campaign for attorney general of Missouri, he was hospitalized in St. Louis "on my own volition" for about four weeks for "exhaustion and fatigue." He spent four days...
Just to make certain that his message got through, McGovern table-hopped during dinner with his family that night at the Sylvan Lake Lodge, moving from one table of reporters to the next. He never said flatly that he wanted Eagleton to quit, but the hints were plain to all present. Next day McGovern even suggested that he had been doubtful all along.

...promotes this image by describing himself as a "lazy Russian bear." There is no bluster about him, no impatience, nothing restless. While waiting for an opponent to move, he gets up and strolls around with his hands folded behind his back, like a skater cruising over the ice on Lake Ladoga. "I like sports," he says offhandedly. "I swim a bit, and now I play a little tennis. I have other interests: reading, music and, yes, I do some chess." When he does, his remarkable calm makes him a formidable bear indeed.
