...Church's actions are being at tacked as a "power play" by jealous members of his committee. More important the committee makeup has shifted sharply against him: five of its 15 members are new. Even though Church was able to eliminate one Republican seat, he faces far more conservative membership than Sparkman did. Gone are liberal Republican Clifford Case and moderate Republicans Robert Griffin and James Pearson. Instead, Archconservatives S.I. Hayakawa of California, Jesse Helms of North Carolina and Richard Lugar of Indiana are likely to oppose Church strongly, and flamboyantly, on many issues. The committee is split almost...
Church's influence is also challenged by a new unity among the committee's Republicans. For the first time, they have decided to form a minority staff of their own. The Republicans think that Carters foreign policy is weak and confused and that bipartisanship−not much in evidence for a long time−is useless. At a meeting of some 100 top G.O.P. officeholders earlier this month in Easton, Md., bipartisanship in foreign policy was dismissed as both a myth and out of date.

...South also sets up parallels between blacks and foreign immigrants as both groups deal with the problem of assimilation into American culture. But Roots 11 does not try to turn blacks into dark-skinned whites. When Haley's forebears enter middle-class professions, and even the Republican Party, they still cling to the litany of African words passed down by Kunta Kinte and keep alive the harsh legacy of slavery. The blacks of Roots 11 are different from whites, and they are proud of that difference...
