| Description | When Pierre Salinger speaks, his lips move with the relish of a winetaster and his jowls quiver like jelly in a railroad dining car. He does not use a text, but he ad-libs exceedingly well, having had substantial practice with White House reporters. He spreads his fingers apart, then waves both hands in the air, looking for all the world like a Dutch windmill that has learned how to smoke a cigar.
Pierre Salinger, 39, is the Democratic Senator from California.
When George Murphy speaks, the easy Irish charm of an old-style city ward heeler pours forth. His blue eyes, set off by pink cheeks and carefully coifed, grey-streaked hair, throw a friendly glint. At the slightest sound of applause, Murphy is transported happily back to the heyday, 25 years ago, when he song-and-danced his way across the nation's cinema screens. Then the ham in him surfaces, and he talks and talks and talks until his aides tug at him and tell him it is time to quit.
George Murphy, 62, wants to be the Republican Senator from California. |
