You have to cool off for a few minutes after a sauna/shower, but Mtistslav never quite mastered the after workout routine. A bit of talcum powder would have been in order. But he was a very sweet and voluble fellow in the sauna, where guys like Marvin Kalb and ex-Cal Senator John Tunney used to also soak out the cares of the day. Several other Wash DC notables of the time would all talk politics and gossip and I was the fly on the wall. Sweating like a pig.
