...years that he has represented Arizona on Capitol Hill, Carl Hayden, 90, has been nothing if not patient. For the past two decades, Hayden has been polishing legislation to authorize a Central Arizona Project, a vast network of dams and waterways to irrigate his arid state. In deference to his seniority and his power as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, the Senate has passed his Arizona bills three times-most recently last August when, despite their economizing mood, his colleagues approved a $1.2 billion appropriation for the project, along with five other Colorado River plans...
...strong leadership in what is a largely ceremonial post (an administrator runs day-to-day operations), easing racial tensions by organizing a civic panel to hear Negro job grievances and working effectively to resettle over 100,000 exiles from Castro's Cuba.

They reject the statistical economic indices of the government -- employment rates, gross national product, etc. -- as true measures of the quality of life. The "main and transcending" concern of society, Tom Hayden has written, "must be the unfolding and refinement of the moral, aesthetic and logical capacities of men in a manner that creates genuine independence."
