...point while going for the nomination, the Kennedys badly wanted the votes of Washington, whose Governor, Albert Rosellini, a Roman Catholic, was cool. So they pitched vice-presidential woo to Washington's Senator Henry M. ("Scoop") Jackson, a Presbyterian. "Scoop is my personal choice, and Jack likes Scoop," said Bobby to a Jackson aide. "You've got to give us some pegs to hang our hats on. Go, go, go!" Scoop and his team went, went, went, talking up his vice-presidential prospects until to be anti-Kennedy in the Washington delegation was akin to being treasonably anti...
...latest word from the horse's mouth was that Washington's boyishly earnest Senator Henry M. Jackson, 48, who is less intensely liberal than Humphrey, was coming up fast.

They go like hell, poppity-pop and hellity-scoop"). Like Pieter Brueghel the Elder, whom he admired so much, he filled his canvases with chipper little figures going about their daily chores, drinking their beer, sparking, preparing their feasts-all under a bright sky of perpetual blue...
...Alive." Since it took to space on perfect propaganda schedule before the Paris summit conference, the Russian satellite provoked nervous curiosity in Washington that it might be more than it seemed. Washington State's well-informed Democratic Senator Henry M. ("Scoop") Jackson, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, made headlines by announcing: "There is growing reason to suspect that a man may be sitting in the Soviet 'spaceship', circling the globe at this very minute, and that the Soviets may very shortly attempt to return this man-alive-to earth."
