Really? I have got to hear that story.
I was taking Amtrak from northern Ohio to South Carolina. There was about a 6 hour layover in DC. I took a long walk to the mall, then came back by Congress. The Senate was in session. All I had to do to get in was to provide ID and state who my representative was. I entered the balcony, which was maybe 10 per cent occupied, and Kennedy was reading a speech, assisted by a preppy looking acolyte page turner. I am not at all sure CSPAN was televising at that time, nor can I be exactly sure that he was reading this exact passage, but it was during the Bork hearings, where Ted Kennedy, and others, turned Bork into a verb. At that time, prior to many more years of alcohol abuse, waitress sandwiches and too many carbohydrate laden sandwiches, he was much trimmer.
My vantage point was directly over his right shoulder. Could have beaned him with a wad of paper, though I probably would have been expelled from the chamber.
