Over there is Martin Madden, who has the difficult job of chairman of the Appropriations Committee. There are a lot more of course. Will Wood, who runs the Republican Congressional Committee, and Oldfield, who occupies the same post for the Democrats, and others who cut a figure, for one reason or another-Jim Begg, and Fred Britten and Henry Allen Cooper and Hamilton Fish and Howard, who dresses like William Jennings...
