What I remember best were the political picnics the party used to hold every summer at Lone jack, Mo., outside Kansas City. These were hell-roaring, rip-snorting affairs with the loudest & longest speeches you ever heard. The President loved those picnics, never missed one." Boyle recalled listening to the President's St. Louis speech just before the 1948 election. "About halfway through, he began talking off the cuff. 'Uh-oh,' I said...
