With the session barely under way, the House was beginning to look like a progressive-school kindergarten. One day last week, New York Democrat Andrew Somers, who has been around the House long enough (24 years) to know better, shouted "idiot" at Nebraska Republican Arthur Miller.

A few hours later the FBI announced that Mr. Lewis was the long-sought Sam Carr, a top agent of the wartime Soviet spy ring in Canada.

Dapper Eric Johnston, who heads them both, took a deep breath and fired...
...With the freehanded giveaway show Stop the Music (19.2%) and Walter Winchell (who currently leads the field with the top Hooper of 29.7%), ABC has clearly distanced its older rivals. Hardest hit in the percentage battle is bag-eyed Fred Allen, who dropped below CBS's Adventures of Sam Spade, as well as ABC's Stop the Music...
