When Brooke arrived on Capitol Hill, his credentials were not essentially different from those of the other members of a promising G.O.P. Senate freshman class?Illinois' Charles Percy, Oregon's Mark Hatfield, Tennessee's Howard Baker and Wyoming's Clifford Hansen. "There was no special fanfare for me," mused Brooke after taking the senatorial oath on Jan. 10. "I felt like a member of the club. They didn't overdo it. They didn't underdo it." He and the other Republican tyros have seats in the same section of the Senate chamber?an area that is called "Boy's Town...

That leaves Richard Nixon, whose chief support comes from precisely those regions where Romney is weakest because of his 1964 defection-the South and parts of the Midwest...
Sorensen particularly deplored the fact that the Democrats had no "bright new faces emerging from this election -unless you count Lurleen Wallace and Lester Maddox," while the Republicans came up with a carload. "Let us be frank," he said; if men like Hatfield, Percy, Romney and half a dozen others "had the word Democrat after their names, we would be boasting about them as outstanding figures in today's political scene...
