But I guess Kennedy's iconic status was too tempting to resist. And Bentsen was waiting to pounce. Anyway, this week, I've seen a couple of "good–old–days–syndrome"...
... Carter’s presidential campaign. The first time I ever came to Washington was to dance at WalterMondale’s inaugural ball. It was a thrill for my husband and me, and we were both happy to work on behalf of WalterMondale and Jimmy Carter. We really believed in them when we were in college.
