"It is not enough to argue with the logistics [of the war] ... or the manner of the conflict's execution or the failures of competence, as great as they are," Kerry said, to wild cheers.

In full black attire, against a backdrop, he hissed the words over his shoulder at his audience in truly a sinister manner; it was very effective. Later, I met both again at a party hosted by a friend on Beacon Hill. Merrill was seated on a couch in the living room; Howard held court in the hallway. I was most definitely the oddity there.
