...rights Senators is on hand at all times, Humphrey has organized six six-man Democratic teams, each captained by "quorum whips," and will supply 36 men whenever the bells begin clanging. The Republicans are responsible for a 15-man quota. Humphrey has set up a master chart of out-of-town engagements for the next two months for all Democrats, has also established a special phone-communication system with several Democratic Senators' offices...
...teams weed with ruthless skill, often removing as much as 70% of a company's records. The higher an executive the more of his records Leahy retains, on the principle that even insignificant slips of paper may be important to a top man. A piece of out-of-town hotel stationery, for instance, may establish the president's presence in one city at a time when Justice Department antitrust lawyers accuse him of being someplace else in a price-fixing conspiracy.

But most committeemen are about as conspicuous as FBI agents at a Communist rally: they come in twos and threes, sit nervously on side aisles, usually fail...
...worry about, and the dress is optional. Some teams charge admission to their games; others, like the Townies, pass the hat (last week's take: $68.80). Hardly anybody makes ends meet. Fields must be rented, referees must be paid, and there are bus and meal costs for out-of-town games. The Kansas City Buffaloes have a peculiar problem: they play most of their games on the road, and under league rules, the home club pockets the gate receipts. As a result, the Buffaloes sport a season's record of five wins and one loss and a season...
