I did not see Billy Graham, but saw a report of his "crusade" in the paper.
It said he had some trouble with voice, but managed well on the
whole---adding that he had a lot of help before and after the appearance.
Perhaps, like many PWPs, he can "mobilize" himself while on center stage,
and pays for it afterwards? I would think that for him it must be
stressful---and also for Janet Reno, who was shaking visibly in a recent TV
news clip. We've heard of B.G's having PD for a good many years, though
they wouldn't discuss it--I doubt he is in early stages.
