...dealings between lobbyist and lawmaker, as past scandals and the Korean bribery affair suggest. Yet on balance the relationship between the governors and the governed, even when the lobbyist does represent one of the nation's many special-interest groups, is often mutually beneficial, and perhaps indispensable, to the fullest workings of democracy. The increasingly knowledgeable and competent Washington lobbyist supplies a practical knowledge vital to the writing of workable laws.

Winterset is one of the few productions that can justly point to its set as a major attraction. Joe Mobilia's looming set is a masterwork, using the Loeb's rather spacious capacity to the fullest.

Warns Wriston: "We are getting very close to the point where high taxes will cause the economy to deteriorate...
...Deal liberal and that was important during these years, the years when the government recognized its obligation to expand its responsiveness to human needs. Someone had to push the Senate in new directions, fight the good fight--and more often than not it was Humphrey, a "giver" in the fullest sense, who took it on himself...
