With her mother, a stenographer and a clerk, grey-haired, bustling Interim Senator Gladys Pyle (Rep.) drove all the way from South Dakota to Washington "because," she said, "I wouldn't feel like a Senator unless I did." First woman to serve in the South Dakota Legislature, Senator Pyle was a candidate for Governor two years ago. As soon as she arrived in Washington, she personally screwed her nameplate on the door of her temporary office; spoke at a luncheon of the Republican National Committee; had a look at the Capitol; hurried down to the Interior Department to discuss...

The only nonartistic Wyeth child is Nathaniel. 25, who is also the only one who went to school after the age of 12. His wife is a Pyle. Ann, 22, does not paint but writes music. Her husband paints. Andrew, 20, already paints so well that his first one-man show in Manhattan's Macbeth Gallery last month was a sellout.
