He's personable, quick to answer questions, and has the brightest baby-blue eyes this side of the cradle. In a so-called "year of the non-politician," Bayh says, "I'm proud to be a politician--and I'm not against Big Government--I just want it to be more efficient...

Tanaka, on the other hand, has apparently had his wings clipped once again. The brash, unrepentant politician promised the nation a full answer to questions about his financial dealings when he resigned in 1974, but no explanation has ever come forth. He is still rich, head of his party's biggest faction, and a major architect of Liberal Democratic strategy. But the Lockheed affair is a vivid...
