Morse is a Republican turned Independent turned Democrat. Pitched at each other in the fiercest of the 35 Senate races this year, 63-year-old Doug McKay-ex-Interior Secretary and Dwight Eisenhower's personal choice as a challenger-and Incumbent Wayne Morse, 56, are hurtling toward Nov. 6, and what is probably the nation's most spectacular collision of political personalities...
