...Winship the reformist that initiated a 36-page supplement on poverty programs last month (March 19)> The report included the first comprehensive listings of agencies and programs--public and private--involved in the Boston area's War on Poverty.

The Senate ethics committee itself is a monument to congressional distaste for self-regulation. Created by a 1964 resolution, the committee had no members for a full year and was virtually moribund until the Dodd investigation. The ten-point platitude adopted...
