In 1965, when Berman was between careers, Humphrey asked him to become his personal physician and adviser. Berman immediately accepted...
...account of each meeting, then, as soon as he can, writes out what went on. With six weeks yet to go, his chronology already runs to 2,000 pages. If Humphrey should defy the odds and win the election, Berman would undoubtedly become Humphrey's Boswell, a physician-biographer with unparalleled access to the heart, mind and muscles of a President...
