...word with his daughter, Kathryn, large and placid in a black dress. He mouthed his after-breakfast cigar, chatted, paced up & down until an introductory orator droned: "I give you . . ." Only then did the finest actor in U. S. Labor turn to the crowd. Grey hairs laced his black mane. His squat body was taut and still. One hand brushed at his eyes, at the arching black eyebrows, the monolithic slopes of his face, the broad mouth. After seven minutes of ovation he spoke in low monotone: ". . . Delegates to the Golden Jubilee Convention of the United Mine Workers of America...

...sure you have the time?" twice asked Borah of Idaho, mindful that the stripling had pre-law classes to attend. Reassured, overcoated (without the blanket), the Senator trudged out of the office, along the echoing basement corridor, across Delaware Avenue to the park. His frail frame was stooped.
