...looks as though we need a Moses in this field," said Chairman Ellender to Witness Benson. Other committee members, Republicans as well as Democrats, made it plain that they did not see Bible-quoting Mormon Apostle Benson as the needed Moses. Missouri Democrat Stuart Symington charged Benson with trying to "lick this problem with phrases." North Dakota Republican Milton R. Young rumbled that the lower wheat supports requested by Benson "would break every wheat farmer...
...sharpest backfire came for a pair of Carters. Democrat Steven V. Carter, 43, of Leon, Iowa, listed his 19-year-old son Steven as his public-relations assistant, at a salary of $11,872.26 a year. Steve's job, explained Congressman Carter proudly, is to "take care of the folks who come in from Iowa, let them know what I'm doing, help them enjoy themselves." Young Carter, a part-time prelaw student at nearby George Washington University, insists that he puts in 40 hours a week on the job-although his morning class schedule scarcely permits...
Picking up his telephone in Milwaukee one August night in 1957, Wisconsin's Edward William Proxmire offered particular congratulations to Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson on Johnson's 49th birthday.

Solution: Humphrey got a flat commitment from Minnesota's ambitious but loyal Democrat-Farmer-Labor comrade, Governor Orville Freeman, that no D.F.L. competition for Humphrey's seat will be tolerated until Humphrey gives the word that the presidency situation is settled...
...them clack. She needed Roger Williams' publishing savvy while she gathered some of her own. And she shared his liberal journalistic approach. Old Guy would have been shocked at some of the changes gradually wrought in his empire. Not long after his death, the Gannett papers endorsed a Democrat-Edmund S. Muskie, running for Governor. Editing tightened: no longer was it considered news when a Portland merchant laid fresh bricks over the old store front. The papers' rock-bound horizons expanded; one Portland staffer went to India on a fellowship, another to France...
