...commercials. Their view: the ads should be of a quality befitting a President. The Tuesday Team was happy to oblige. "For the Madison Avenue guys, that's the way they do it every day," said Doug Watts, the campaign's director of communications. "Political ads have been sore thumbs that stick out from the other messages on TV, like a used-car ad in the middle of the travel ads."

(Humphrey, then fatally ill with cancer, responded to the news: "Jesus Christ, Lyndon Johnson's going to be sore as hell about this.") Solberg, whose biography is the first to benefit from Humphrey's papers at the Minnesota Historical Society, recounts his subject's career in impressive detail, but stumbles when he tries to explain Humphrey's self-defeating diffidence.
