...dour, gangling man with a choppy gait, Colmer looks younger than his 70 years, has gradually swung from a moderate, internationalist position to that of a diehard conservative. He is generally and initially suspicious of any federal project, unless it happens to benefit his Gulf Coast constituents. He is, of course, a segregationist, but he says he has never made an "anti-Negro" speech. For 20 years he has enjoyed his power on the Rules Committee. There his vote, along with those of Chairman Howard Smith, the courtly Virginia judge, and the four Republican members, could and often did produce...
...Hill, twelve of them in the Senate. Starting off as a small-town schoolteacher and ardent fisherman, Mundt tried his hand as a college speech instructor, farmer and insurance agent, broke into politics as a member of South Dakota's Game and Fish Commission.

As a freshman Congressman, Nixon supported Harry Truman's program of aid to Communist...
...every Republican Convention since 1936, Indiana Congressman Charlie Halleck has backslapped his way among the delegates, like the Hoosier horse trader that he is. In 1940 he nominated fellow Indianian Wendell Willkie for the presidency. In 1948 Halleck swung Old Guard Indiana to Internationalist Tom Dewey on the promise, he thought, of the vice-presidential nomination (California's Earl Warren got it). In 1952 Halleck's support of Dwight Eisenhower was a sharp blow to the embittered forces of Ohio's Bob Taft. In 1956 he nominated...
