Plainly, despite all the gibes that have been thrown his way, there is something special about Dirksen. Says a White House staffer: "Who could dislike Dirksen?

He is also-as a result of his midlands upbringing in a plain, small town-trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

On opening night all the little scenes shot out of the back of the stage at precarious speeds, while the sets swayed and teatered precariously. But since then, the sets have been revised and simplified. By Saturday, the production was fairly smooth, though one still wonders why Mr. George Hamlin, Armistead, the set designer...
