...Democrat Jerry Brown. Democratic favorites fell like bowling pins. Henry Jackson, the early front runner, did not even survive the first half of the primary season, and even Carter got a scare at the end. Liberals fared worst of all: the Democrats rejected Fred Harris, Mo Udall, Birch Bayh, Sargent Shriver and Milton Shapp...
Other possibilities: Indiana Senator Birch Bayh, who is a liberal-labor favorite, but showed himself a shallow, inept candidate in the primaries; Jackson, who would draw Jewish support but was even more deadly on the stump than Bayh; and Maine's Senator Ed Muskie, who is a tested leader, but is seen as a failed candidate since his 1972 flop.

Members would be limited to eight-year terms to prevent the growth of cozy relationships between the watchers and the watched.

Though Church might be a natural candidate for chairmanship of the new committee, he ruled himself out. The expected choice is Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, a tough skeptic, who served...
