...evoke more during his talk. After a few jokes that had listeners groaning ("L.BJ.'s spending more and more time on the ranch practicing horseback riding to see if he can improve his Gallup"), he launched into a ponderous discourse on fiscal theory and federal-state relations, ran five minutes over his allotted time. "It was not a good night," said one of his supporters...
