One wonders why Schoenbaum is mocking the political ambitions of the elderly patient, whom he depicts unflatteringly, aged and pot-bellied, wearing only his drawers and socks. This is no doubt a dig at Bob Dole, who was eventually to receive the Republican presidential nomination in 1996 at age seventy-three, running against the incumbent Bill Clinton, who would be a relatively spry fifty.

It is strange that The New Yorker's style guide insists on capitalizing the word presidency.
