we call regular order to start to treat one another again like we used to. the senate was never perfect, john, you know that, we were there a long time together. i'd watch teddy kennedy and james o. eastland to fight like crazy on civil rights and go down and have lunch together in the senate dining room. john wanted to see, quote, regular order writ large, get to know one another. you know, john and i were both amused, i think lindsey was at one of these events, john and i received two prestigious awards, the last year i was vice president, then one immediately after, for our dignity and respect we showed to one another.
