Four Democratic incumbents-Herman Talmadge of Georgia, Hawaii's Daniel Inouye, North Carolina's Sam Ervin and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina-Seem virtually assured of reelection.

Wherever they stop, they give completely. "We simply try to do a little more than required," says Sam. "If this means we have to sing one song for 50 minutes, then we sing the song for 50 minutes." That may seem terribly long, but when Sam & Dave pound out Hold on, I'm Comin', even 50 minutes seem too short for the fans...
