...Democratic caucus. Head counters give Byrd 30 votes, two 14 short of a majority, and Humphrey 22. Humphrey hopes to pick up the ten votes he needsthat Byrd is acceptable to labor. He wasn't about to go against a sure winner." Humphrey's health also worries Senators, who wonder whether he will have the vitality for the job after undergoing removal of his cancerous bladder. Says Hubert, who insists that he has been advised he is healthy enough: "I prefer to rely on my doctors for medical opinions."

But I think John Prine would know. It was the strangling to death in a claustrophobic small town, the desperation of it--and not some quiet desperation, either. It was as real and loud as the shout from Elvin Anderson's yelping GT-60 8.20s as he went slip-sliding into that stationwagon. But home...
