...witchhunt for subversives in Government. Among other things, Jackson asked a series of ironic questions during the Army-McCarthy hearings that helped reduce the Wisconsin Senator to an object of ridicule. The strain of those hearings led to an attack of fibromyositis, an extremely painful, body-wide muscular cramp that Jackson likens to "a giant charley horse." To avoid future attacks, he still exercises daily for 45 minutes, usually in the Senate gym, where he swims a quarter of a mile and then vigorously pedals an exercise bicycle...
