...Years on the Rock. "Just yesterday, I was No. 31048," Sobell told a TIME reporter in flat, lifeless tones that reflected the shock of freedom.

His manner brings viewers a message that middle-class values and Midwest calm still endure...
...McCARTHY took another step yesterday into the realm of the enigmatic, surrendering his seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in order to make room for Wyoming's Gale McGee and indirectly--very indirectly--aid Chairman J. William Fullbright's efficiency schemes. McCarthy's action came as a small shock to his colleagues, including McGee himself.
