TIME'S portrait [March 26] of Senator Eastland as the new reactionary-respectable, resourceful, rhetorical-is a repelling one.

Going to Washington in 1953 after 40 years with the First Trust Co. of Lincoln, the last seven as president, he took charge of international economic affairs for the State Department, became a vocal and effective champion of freer trade. Traveling thousands of miles in 28 months, Waugh helped write the GATT agreements in Geneva, campaigned for Japan's admission and finally won. Back...
