He judges his subcommittee chairmen by the amount by which they can cut budget requests. Last year his star pupil was Louisiana's Otto Passman, who applied a $872 million meat ax to the foreign aid bill (the Senate...
Good Humor Corp. of America declares dividends whenever the idea pops into the busy head of Michael J. (''Mike") Meehan. Last week Mr. Meehan passed out a 50?? dividend. Most of the half dollars clinked into Mr. Meehan's personal pocket. A few found their way to his good friend Alfred E. Smith...
