American grape growers and wine

In the senate friendships are not lim

men of exactly opposite political views.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who might
be termed u hard shell Democrat, has
many warm friends on the Republican
side, while Senator Aldrich, one of the
most prominent leaders among the Re
publicans, has very close personal rela
