...while the insurgents thought of trying to oust Charlie himself, but then realized that they did not have that much influence. They talked of moving against Illinois' Les Arends, the G.O.P. whip; that idea also was discarded. Finally they decided to zero in on Iowa's Charles Hoeven, 67, chairman of the House Republican Conference. Their candidate to replace Hoeven: Michigan's Gerald Ford Jr., 49, a former University of Michigan football star who has become a recognized House expert in defense appropriations...

As Baritone Tcherkassky opened his mouth, someone upset a bottle. Other diners with bottles, imitative, upset theirs. Some, lacking bottles, dropped plates.
