...Drifter. Carpenter's father, a chemist, and his mother separated soon after Scott was born. Stricken with tuberculosis, his mother went into a Colorado sanitarium, and Carpenter was raised in Boulder, Colo., by his maternal grandfather, Editor Victor Noxon of the Boulder County Miner and Farmer. (The Noxon house stood on Aurora Street, a name that Carpenter later was to borrow for his space capsule.) The old man gave the boy his first lesson in self-reliance: how to live by hunting and fishing in the mountains of Colorado...
Washington Irving came down the Hudson to Manhattan and was vastly impressed with her. So, in Boston, was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who declared that "she sings like the morning star." Even Niagara Falls fell at her feet as she stood on a projecting boulder and sang an aria to the plunging cataract. Pittsburgh's Stephen Foster, a young Northerner hopelessly in love with the South, was forever grateful to her because she added his songs to her repertoire, including one she called "Mein Old Kentucky Home."

Yet McCormack is an oldfashioned, frock-coat liberal, and a vastly different breed from the young, grey-flannel liberals who man the New Frontier. McCormack's liberalism is instinctive and emotional, culled from personal experience as a member of the "deserving poor." He has little use for the liberalism derived largely from books and faculty-club discussions. Such House liberals as Missouri's Richard Boi ling and New Jersey's Frank Thompson regard McCormack...
