Girard, sitting on his back with his face to the sky. started its powerful jet engines. As the roaring exhaust hit the pavement below, a spray of dirt and melted tar boiled into the air.

Although he eats little on campaign tours (a light breakfast, a sandwich on the road, a snack before his evening speech, an attempt at dinner afterward), he actually gained two pounds on his first tour, has maintained an even weight of about 175 throughout the campaign...
