...cook. You want some French fries, I'll give you some French fries. I'm not sitting here making great decisions." That is pure Jordan, or "Jerden," as the name is pronounced down home. To all appearances, he is the good ole boy come to Washington: joshing, tieless, rumpled, feet on desk, a thick scallop of hair falling across an unlined, apple-cheeked face that is as unrevealing of emotion as a painted Easter egg.

It knocked him off his stride." As McGovern monitored the battle on TV, he sat shoeless and tieless on a couch eating a T-bone steak and ice cream, and occasionally fondling his month-old baby grandson Matthew. At 3 that morning, Eleanor McGovern drove back to the Doral from the convention center; when she got there, she found that the candidate had gone to sleep...
