...Mitchell, 54, has been around long enough to have developed respect for tradition but not so long that he is inured to Senate logjams. "Tradition," he says, "ought not to be a justification for unreasonable delay and unconscionable deadlock," a sentiment that resonates loudly with the bloc of eleven freshmen Senators pushing a "quality of life" package to reform arcane Senate rules.

Despite this historical reference, Joe Turner works by intuition more than logic. At the end, when Loomis seems...
