...rose to address the Texans, Kennedy's trembling legs made his trousers flutter, and sweat beaded his upper lip. "I shall continue to vote for Senator Johnson as President, if he's nominated, or as majority leader," he said. Against Kennedy's conciliatory remarks, Lyndon launched into a barrage of sarcasm, and without mentioning Jack's name, bitterly attacked Kennedy's voting record and his Senate absenteeism.

Mackenzie muffled himself to his ears, hobbled about on a cane, and shuddered violently whenever a breeze came by. Then he won in record time. He deliberately provokes false starts.
