Gravel starts Senate career in Alaska style
Alaska's Mike Gravel arrives in Washington as the new junior senator, ranking second in seniority. The 38 year old Democrat, a Spring field native, vows to learn and serve, noting a long road from his horse riding Capitol Hill entrance to a constructive tenure. He blends humanist ideals with a love of philosophy, reads Bertrand Russell, and plans to improve fellow citizens' well being. He lives with wife Rita, daughter Lynne, and son Martin, skis, jogs, and tends to his garden.
