Last week, as Senate Republicans chose a moderate new leader by electing Pennsylvania's Hugh Scott as minority whip, the young Turks of the Democratic Party joined in open revolt against their hierarchical chieftains. Rejecting the Eisenhower-Johnson concept of consensus, they demanded younger, more aggressive leadership and distinctively Democratic programs to revivify the party's claim to national leadership in the years to come.

Graham, however, chose the more traditional method of disputing a call: he blew his stack. He raged onto the field and threw a penalty flag at an official, and later told reporters: "The officials stole the game from us!"
