Clark (Ill.), Harold Hughes (Iowa), John Gilligan (Ohio) and Alan Cranston (Calif.) are five exceptional challengers who have done much to free their party from the likes of Mayor Daley and President Johnson. Similarly Abraham Ribicoff (Conn.) and George McGovern (S.D.) distinguished themselves at the Democratic Convention, while Ernest Gruening (Alaska), Gaylord Nelson (Wisc.), and Franch Church (Idaho) have performed yeoman service inside the Senate...
