...blocks of it -was like a Hollywood movie set. Plains residents weary of hearing visitors make that comparison, but the turn-of-the-century roofed sidewalks and flat-facade buildings seem oddly two-dimensional.

It was an assignment that Carter would give to no other man. Kirbo talked at length with Walter Mondale, Frank Church, John Glenn, Ed Muskie, Henry Jackson and Adlai Stevenson III. In his measured, mannerly way, the taciturn interrogator with the clear blue eyes asked them questions about their...
