Seaman, commander of the operation, expressing disappointment at the first results.

Hatfield, 44, who has expressed grave misgivings about the Administration's conduct of the war, and Democratic Representative Robert Duncan, 45, a snuff-dipping ex-seaman who stands foursquare in favor of the President's policies, were running almost dead even.
