...Senate," says his son-in-law, Senator Howard Baker, "he changes into the most decrepit clothes you ever saw and gets out into his garden. He loves getting dirt under his fingernails." Baker adds that Dirksen "likes to sit out on the terrace with a bourbon in one hand and a BB gun in the other to shoo the squirrels away from the seeds he puts out for the birds." The Dirksens resist dinner invitations, and keep their own entertaining informal. One fellow Senator had to cook his own chicken at a Dirksen party, and guests on another occasion picked...
...after taking power, he set down a four-point plan calling for southern regional autonomy, and he has ordered the army to help build up the south's economy. Addressing his troops in the south two weeks ago, he said: "Now you must carry a rifle in one hand and a tool in the other...

Casey was forced to retire in 1965 with a fractured hip, and things were dull without him standing on the dugout steps, crossing two fingers on each hand and shouting "Whommy! Whommy! Whommy!" at opposing players. His lackluster successor, Wes Westrum, guided the Mets past the Cubs to their first ninth-place finish. They recorded another first in 1966: they lost fewer than 100 games. Despite the change, attendance rose, and the steadfast fans still brandished their banners...
