...victory or defeat produced some vivid impressions that will stay fresh years from now when they look back on Nov. 7, 1978. Midwest Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate, for example, followed Illinois Senator Charles Percy throughout his come-from-behind re-election battle, and witnessed an extraordinary victory speech. Reports Cate: "Wan and misty-eyed, Percy could not control the trembling of his hands as he read his statement. The tough race had humbled a normally proud man." After Philadelphians defeated a proposal that would have allowed Mayor Frank Rizzo to seek a third term, New York Correspondent Robert Parker visited...
What happened, Flynt told TIME Chicago Bureau Chief Benjamin Cate, was that he had found God at 40,000 ft.-in a chartered jet somewhere between Denver and Houston. "It was powerful and awesome," says Flynt of the experience. "There I was, representing the pits of what is wrong in our society, and it happened. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried for God."

From Chicago, Midwest Bureau Chief Benjamin Cate reported that Carter had lost credibility because of his "mulish support of Lance in the face of the overwhelming evidence that his Budget Director was, at the very least, a wheeler-dealer. Had Carter cut his losses early on by easing Lance out, he would have gotten himself...
...family tree. "It takes three generations to make a lady, and then she'll spit," he used to say. In addition to many distinguished ancestors, Boeth can also claim a petticoat thief in New Amsterdam (fined 20 guilders for the deed). And Chicago Bureau Chief Benjamin Cate enjoys recalling, among his Puritan precursors, one William ("Whiskey") Cate, who earned his moniker as the watchdog of sobriety in colonial Boston. "During his lifetime, he confiscated many bottles of booze," says Cate. "When old Bill finally died, they found that all those hundreds of bottles were still in the basement...
