<p>A small detail about the man.

The Governor was about to leave when he saw that Senator Mikulski had just arrived, having some difficulty moving through a crowded room. The Governor moved back into the crowd,  let her take his arm and he parted escorted her up to the podium, in what seemed to me to be a symbol of his genuine respect and affection for Maryland's senior senator.
