Despite his self-confident assertiveness, it was clear back on the Talmadge estate that the President-elect was soliciting help and advice. Among those present were the men vying for the job of majority leader of the Senate-Favorite Robert Byrd and Hubert Humphrey -and the retiring leader, Mike Mansfield, plus the influential Edmund Muskie. Thomas ("Tip") O'Neill, certain to be House Speaker, was there with four key chairmen: Appropriations' George H. Mahon, Ways and Means' Al Ullman, Budget's Brock Adams and James J. Delaney, probable new Rules head...
...balance of presidential impact has tipped and the measure of Carter will lie in how he focuses national thought and attention. Some good men who have done a lot of legislating in the past have had similar thoughts as they have become frustrated in the legislative underbrush.

Hubbard has not progressed as much as hoped for from the time he broke in as an 18-year old wunderkind. But he is up in the top ten trumpeters playing today. Laws is a rarity; a lead man on flute: Not in the Eric Dolphy bracket, Laws is nevertheless more than competant on the flute. He is very much into the jazz-rock scene despite...
...necktie sported Democratic donkeys, and his step showed some of the old kick as former Vice President Hubert Humphrey checked out of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. Three and a half weeks after an operation to remove his cancerous bladder, Humphrey said goodbye to his nurse and a crowd of well-wishers, then set off for Washington, D.C., to await election results in his campaign for a fifth Senate term. "I've had enough tests to go through 44 universities," said the Minnesotan. As for his regimen as a convalescent, bubbled Hubert: "I'll be swimming...
