In his four-year fight to win unchallenged control of the Christian Democratic Party, Fanfani had performed a useful service by remolding the party machinery in his own efficient image: late to bed, early to rise, always on the job.

Hoosier state professionals, players in as rough a practical political game as the country knows, rate curly-haired, paunchy Charlie Halleck a tough and ruthless performer, who has been often battered but never beaten in 35 years of office-holding. Old hands in the House, where he is a twelve-termer and twelve-year veteran as G.O.P. No. 2 man, rank him as "an Indiana politician with brains," a blunt, hard-driving scrapper...
