Perhaps the saddest account is that of Brock Chester, voted most popular member of his senior class. Chester committed suicide at 24, with no explanation, no warning. Medved and Wallechinsky interviewed his mother and his high school girl friend, trying to fathom his motive; the conclusion they reach, that he could neither live up to his popularity in school or accept his post-graduation anonymity, is couched in his mother's words, making it a lot more palatable than a slick judgment on someone the authors barely knew could have been.

...take a day off, I just get restless and run out of the house to find a hand to shake." Sasser, a onetime legislative assistant to the late liberal Senator Albert Gore, is given a good chance against the man who unseated Gore in 1970: Republican Senator William Brock, 45, who is himself an aggressive, well-financed campaigner...

Says he: "In Washington I'm thought of as a conservative, but in Tennessee I'm thought of as a Bolshevik." He supported fair housing and opposed repeal of the one-man, one-vote principle. He also opposes busing and the Consumer Protection Agency and often votes against Pentagon cutbacks. His ACA ratings in 1975 dropped to 54% from previous ratings in the 70s. But he has never taken pains to ingratiate himself with party...
