...first names, reversing the order of the names of his embarrassing colleague in the Senate, James Thomas Heflin. Another distinction between these two-who are the Senate's most complete opposites except for the label on their politics-is that Senator Walsh, from rocky Montana, is the outstanding Roman Catholic Senator, while, as everyone knows, Senator Heflin from swampy Alabama mortally hates and fears the Roman Pope...
