...eastern Kentucky of miners, moonshiners and McCoys. After an Ivy League education (Yale, Harvard Law), he spent 25 years paying off debts left by his politician father. In and out of the Senate since 1946, strapping Baptist Cooper is one of his party's most distinguished liberals, an ardent supporter of foreign aid and civil rights...
South Dakota. Cherubic, pipe-puffing Karl Mundt, 60, has spent 22 years on Capitol Hill, twelve of them in the Senate. Starting off as a small-town schoolteacher and ardent fisherman, Mundt tried his hand as a college speech instructor, farmer and insurance agent, broke into politics as a member of South Dakota's Game and Fish Commission. A prewar isolationist turned internationalist, he bears right domestically-except on farm policy, where he favors liberal supports...

...Hiss, sometime high State Department official, had been a Communist spy during the 1930s. Hiss's denials convinced the other committee members-but his legalistic evasions caught the alert ear of law-trained Richard Nixon. Nixon doggedly pursued the investigation as virtually a one-man committee. Many an ardent Nixon admirer firmly believes that the Democratic liberals' real hatred of Nixon stems not from his insinuating style of debate but from the fact that the Hiss case shattered so many of their postwar illusions about the Communist "wave of the future...
