How was the response in New Haven?
:27:10
I didn't notice.
:27:12
How is he doing?
:27:13
On top of it,
but I think his back is giving him hell.

:27:16
I'm calling Jackie tonight and asking her

I think is a good move.

A student in Connecticut shouted that,
:27:27
I should have more courage
and less profile.

:27:30
The man has a way with words.

Maybe we should put him on the payroll.
:27:34
Yes, on your payroll.
