Like refugees from a storm, members of all persuasions had cots brought into their offices and spare rooms; even the old Supreme Court chamber was turned into a Senate dormitory. Lady Bird Johnson showed up with a fresh change of pajamas for the majority leader. Maine's Margaret Smith posed daintily for photographers as she tucked herself into a cot (fully clothed) for the night. Wyoming's Gale McGee hauled in a sleeping bag. Wisconsin's Bill Proxmire got himself photographed in his skivvies. At first it almost seemed fun: a visit to the Senate gallery became...

There was a storm threatening, and I was afraid the rally would be rained out before I could give my message, but it didn't come. God looked over that meeting. It was supernatural-and now I realize that my own faith was lacking...
