In 1984, Lange was leaving a meeting at the White House with John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State to President Harding. As he entered the parking lot, three large men accosted him and began to beat him with billy-clubs and black-jacks. They said, "This is how we treat sheep herders in these parts!"
Dan Quayle, Vice-President under Ronald Reagan, walked up and said:
