...entertainment was a filibuster, staged not by Deep Southerners−the most frequent filibusterers of recent years−but by liberal Democrats, notably Oregon's Wayne Morse and Maurine Neuberger, Tennessee's Estes Kefauver and Albert Gore, Texas' Ralph Yarborough. Some of them, over the years, had conspicuously denounced Southern filibusters against civil rights measures. Ex-Republican Morse (he quit the G.O.P. in the midst of the 1952 campaign) once called filibustering a "disgraceful and contemptible procedure," and has been one of the Senate's most vociferous advocates of rule changes to shut off filibusters, even...

...Vidal shows exceptional promise in a new literary line. His reviews and essays do not, of course, rock the boat enough to alarm the passengers. But to politics, for instance, Vidal brings the useful viewpoint of a fascinated outsider-insider (he is the grandson of the late Thomas P.
