It has been suggested -and McCarthy has not completely ruled it out-that he move to New York and run for the Senate in 1970 as an independent. But that might split the Democratic vote and ensure a victory for Charles Goodell, the Republican incumbent. As for the future beyond his present Senate term, McCarthy says: "I know what I want to do. Whether I'll do what I want...
