...Tears. In two states the bandwagon nearly overshot its goal. Some Iowa delegates got hot because of Kennedyite attempts to get a public commitment out of Kennedy-leaning Governor Herschel Loveless; so enraged were some delegates that a few fell prey to the sweet-talk of Lyndon Johnson and his wife Lady Bird, when they came calling.

He snapped: "Why didn't somebody tell me this before?" He was so rattled that his game collapsed. He made the green on his fifth stroke, holed...
