Rakishly jamming on his hat, he went to lunch at a modest restaurant, where the waiters gathered to congratulate him; he stood up to shake hands with them all.

While the law-makers of the 83rd Congress have cured the most apparent symptom of the disease that McCarthy brought to the upper house, next year's 84th Congress should strike at the cause of the sickness by placing effective curbs on committees. It should assure the nation that no other unscrupulous individual will ever use the broad powers...
