In my life I'd been a reporter for UPI covering presidential
candidates. But it was in my role as vice president for state University that I
got to see politics as it may frequently operate. At our university we had the
support of a Democratic congressman who was the chairman of a very powerful
House committee. He was a pleasant man who at one time had been the youngest
mayor in the United States. He'd been lieutenant governor of California and a
polished politician. Unfortunately, although he was still chair of a powerful
House committee, he had Alzheimer's.
His wife was very brilliant and she moved through his
congressional area in a Rolls making sure his constituents were taken care of.
She was the ultimate boss of the entire operation. I liked her and believe she
had the best interests of his constituency at heart.
I once spent some time with the Congressman in his
Washington office. Everybody was keeping an eye on me because they didn't want me to talk
him into something for the University that might not be in their best interest.
We were sitting there and he was talking about the high point of his life when
he had been a motorcycle courier for the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. He was
well spoken and I enjoyed listening. All of a sudden
his Chief of Staff walked over and said "Look you've gotta go down on the
floor and vote like I told you to. Remember how I told you to vote?"
After that incident, I I've always wondered how often that
occurs in our democracy. A couple of years later they took the committee
chairmanship away from him. He was still in Congress but everyone made sure he
was not causing any trouble. Since Avalon, the island off California, was in
his district they kept him there with folks knowing t they should take care of
him. One day he somehow got on the ferry to the mainland and they had to hunt
all over until they found him.
American politics frequently involves situations of which we
have no knowledge. I frequently question what I'm told unless it's in the New York Times.
