She must fend off more pressure groups and lobbies than any ten Senate committees; she must woo a shy but fascinated Congress (already she has made nine trips to Capitol Hill). Yet, amid the bewildering mass of unrelated facts, figures and projects. Oveta Hobby was quick to discover a theme of organic unity: through the department, she said recently, runs "a common thread of family service...
