| United States Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana points out landmarks near the Capitol to Democratic senators-elect in early 1963. The senators are, left to right, Thomas McIntyre of New Hampshire, George McGovern of South Dakota, Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, Mansfield, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, and Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut. As majority leader, Mansfield relied on a relatively subdued leadership style, but he was able to win Senate approval of important pieces of legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964. |
