...undersigned was a full-time civil rights lawyer in the South and it has been my privilege to appear before him on many occasions. I have also read every civil rights decision that he has written or participated in. Judge Thornberry was not and is not a "moderate by contrast with his peers" on that bench. He, together with Judges Tuttle, Wisdom and Brown form the liberal heart of the best federal appellate court in the country...
...East and Midwest last week-"dangerous territory," in the words of Aide Dick Smith-he continued to draw big crowds. Some 12,000 heard him speak in Flint, Mich. The only disappointment was Chicago, where an eight-block motorcade through the Loop drew only 50,000; Nixon, by contrast, pulled at least 250,000 a month earlier.

As Morse reflects the past, Packwood symbolizes Modern Oregon--the freeways along the Columbia, the Manhattan-like skyscrapers of down-town Portland. Packwood is a progressive Republican, somewhat along the lines of Illinois' Senator Percy. He descends from Oregon's blue-blood establishment, and offers Oregonians a staid, mildly progressive alternative to Morse's turbulent Senate career...
