"Listening to a reading of the Platform was not easy, despite Senator Dirksen's stentorian skill . . . But there were a few delegates who had been attending conventions since before television's birth . . . Old Timers, who now yawned and dozed away, comfortable in the dignity and insulation of their years." [Republican Nation Convention, Miami Beach, August 1968.]" Self-Portrait: U.S.A., p. 42. |
