Alabama's John Sparkman, 65, is a shambling, soft-spoken man who ought to feel about as safe in his seat as any member of the U.S. Senate. After all, he is one of those "entrenched" Southern Democrats, with 28 years on Capitol Hill, including the past 18 in the Senate. He is the No. 2 man on the Foreign Relations Committee and, more important, has sponsored all sorts of legislation vital to his state's economy, like help for housing and small businesses. He shares with his colleague Lister Hill, also a TVA liberal, major responsibility...
...courts: "I have often said there is too much concern on the part of our federal, state and local courts for the rights of the individual charged with a crime. I think he is entitled to his civil rights, but I think the citizens of this country ought to be able to walk all of the streets of our cities without being mugged, raped or robbed.

The "operators" are active in universities too. Says Columbia's Jacques Barzun: "Professors keep giving advice all over the world, getting ideas on the run, dropping them here and there-they are nothing but airport thinkers. In a certain sense...
...found anywhere. Then I look at the other orders and I think, no, I'm sorry, but we're still ahead." What keeps the Jesuits ahead is, in large measure, the fire and zeal of younger members of the society, who have plenty of ideas of what ought to be done. Many would like to see the society abandon all but a handful of its best universities-such as Fordham and Georgetown-and send its top professors to jobs at secular universities. Bored with an outdated classical curriculum, they would like more training in social and physical sciences...
