But some Republican leaders grasped an essential point: a Representative is primarily an ambassador from his district. One time Javits came forward apologetically to explain a maverick vote to G.O.P. Leader Joe Martin. "Don't worry about it," said Martin. "Your job is to represent your district. That's what you're here for. We want you back...
