...Since the Senators are generally in more demand for speeches and those who are lawyers are often of more value to law firms, their outside income is often higher than that of House members. Senator Hubert Humphrey, .for example, earned $81,000 in speaking engagements in one year, George McGovern $80,000. (Humphrey has never been secretive about such benefits; a sign in his Waverly, Minn., home proclaims: THE HOUSE THAT WIND BUILT.) Yet the limitation is expected to pass. Explaining the prevailing sentiment, one supporter of the code said: "People who come to the Senate rich...

...said Robert Strauss shortly after he was chosen to be Democratic national chairman four years ago. He seemed to be taking on an impossible task.

That's probably because Jimmy Carter and his staff were pretty unwilling to share what was on their minds with reporters, or at least less willing than George McGovern was in 1972. That's the trouble with a news event--when there's no news, you go visit the leper colony to dig up some protagonist's great aunt. It's not that Reeves is not a good reporter--he is--but just that there was not that much...
