Jerry Dodge's drunken Porter is a commendable cameo. And he gives an admirable solution to one textual problem. Just before Macduff and Lennox enter through the gate, the Porter has the line, "I pray you, remember the porter." A number of scholars claim this is meant as an aside to the audience--which seems pretty silly. Dodge, however, saves the line until Macduff enters, and then speaks it with one palm extended, thereby turning it into a request for a tip in return for having roused himself to open the gate at an ungodly hour...
...G.O.P. Senator John Williams, who first blew the whistle on Baker and who was sitting in on the hearings although not a member of the committee, was unwilling to let it go at that. His reluctance set off a shouting match. Williams said he had offered Committee Counsel Lennox McLendon, a back-home crony of Committee Chairman Everett Jordan's, Democrat of North Carolina, a "rather complete file" on various McCloskey contracts. McLendon, he said, had brushed the offer aside, saying he wasn't interested. Roared McLendon: "Senator, you're absolutely and unalterably untrue in your statement...
...committee counsel, Lennox P. McLendon, a skilled lawyer from North Carolina, the Baker case was disillusioning. He had been persuaded that "this investigation involved not only a man named Baker but the operation and philosophy of government."

It was learned how Baker's vending machine company Serv-U had grown in two years into a $3.5-million business with contracts with...
Virtually shamed into action by the G.O.P.'s prodding, the Rules Committee did begin studying an 18-page draft report on the Baker investigation prepared by its special counsel, Lennox McLendon of North Carolina. The report noted "the existence of a breeding ground of practices inimical to the public interest," offered three recommendations to Senators and Senate employees: 1) that there be "compulsory public disclosure" of their financial holdings; 2) that they be prohibited from associating with persons engaged in any business with the Government; and 3) that they be required to testify at the request of Senate committees...
Seldom did Baker deviate from his prepared statement. One time was when Committee Counsel Lennox Polk McLendon, 74, a self-described "country lawyer" from North Carolina, noted that Baker had previously refused to turn his records over to the committee, hopefully suggested that by now Baker might have changed his mind. "You don't know me," snapped Baker. "Whatever reputation I made in the Senate, my word was my bond. When I told you I was not going to testify, that ended it." Again, Rhode Island's Democratic Senator Claiborne Pell asked if Baker, who had begun...
