Ted Kennedy, all the way from Mas sachusetts, to introduce McGovern after turning down the vice-presidential nomination himself a few hours earlier.

Kennedy got a thundering ovation and delivered a 10-minute rouser. McGovern finally marched front and center at 1:42 a.m. (Iowa time) to be joined by Eagleton and then, in a unity show, by Senators Edmund Muskie and Hubert Humphrey and Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.
