There are other shards pointing to Brezhnev's ascension. In a fulsome news report, Tass announced Brezhnev's nomination as a candidate in the June 14 elections for the Supreme Soviet, describing him as "a true Leninist" and "a tireless fighter." Another Tass item lumped together announcements of the nominations of Kosygin, Podgorny and one Victor Yermilov, an obscure Moscow machine-tool fitter. Such clues are minor and not conclusive, but the combined weight of the evidence is impressive...

It would take great cynicism to doubt that he passionately believed in and practiced what he preached-monogamy, abstinence from drugs, extramarital sex and drink, ceaseless work for the black community.

The Populist fallacy-the bigger the money supply, the more for everybody-lost its national appeal after the election of 1896. but strains of it persist in the rural America where Patman has his roots.

A tireless worker, he goes to his office seven days a week, puts in ten hours each weekday. Despite his reputation for vituperative oratory, Patman in person seems more like a grandfatherly American archetype: Baptist, Mason, Elk, Shriner, Eagle and American Legionnaire (all of which he is). Briefly a widower, Patman two years ago married a Texarkana widow in her 70s, whom he had dated...
