Though the 1964 Senate hearings on Bobby Baker yielded a tangy crop of headlines, they produced little else. Entrepreneur Baker remained free to pursue his affairs, a peripatetic playboy in alligator shoes. Last week, after three years, another Bobby Baker hearing finally got under way in a far less flamboyant atmosphere. The arena this time was the grimly sterile U.S. courthouse for the District of Columbia, and Baker's accuser was the U.S. Government...
