From The New York Times, Sunday, October 4, 1998, an article titled "Moynihan Calls a Schumer Victory Crucial":

"As the news conference proceeded, the Senator looked increasingly flushed. When Mr. Moynihan was asked whether he considered Mr. D'Amato's campaign divisive, the Senator appeared confused and his speech was halting.

"'I'm going to have to go over there and sit down for a minute,' Mr. Moynihan said. 'I have a fever.'

"Mr. Schumer, who was watching Mr. Moynihan's difficulties with evident concern, said, 'The Senator had a cold and wasn't going to come today and then decided to come.'

"Then, assisted by Mr. Schumer and aides, Mr. Moynihan walked stiffly over to a folding chair in the back of the postage stamp of a yard where Mr. Schumer grew up and tried unsuccessfully to sit down.

"'Would you mind if I just went off to the car?' Mr. Moynihan inquired. 'You can answer all those questions. I've got the damnedest flu.' Mr. Moynihan then left."
