...here to Washington, D.C. there is one set of driving circumstances, and past Washington there is another. At first there are a lot of tolls and cities and tricky interchanges, and you have to be on your toes. From here to New York, it's all pretty familiar: Mass Pike, through the middle of Connecticut, New Haven, Bridgeport, the Bronx. Northern Connecticut is the prettiest part; the Connecticut coast is old and industrial. Outside of New York City you pass what must be the world's biggest cemetery and a White Castle where they sell silver-dollar-size hamburgers...

...similar agencies. Both the House committee and its Senate counterpart headed by Frank Church have been on the job since early this year, and both have spent too much time battling the Administration or grabbing for headlines by concentrating on flashy issues. One motive: peppery and aggressive Pike yearns to run for the Senate in 1976, and Church may well announce his candidacy for President by year...
