Harris invites com parison with McCTellan. whose fa miliar "district attorney" style of presiding at a hearing made him the scourge of labor racketeers. Uses Friendly Touch In public session. Harris seems mure detached and dues not bear down as hard as McClellan. His 'liicstiuniug generally is more in the nature of a friendly inquiry than a cross-examination. This contrast, of course, stems in large part from the fact that MiClellan usualh was dealing with balky witnesses. When the occasion arises, Harris can be tough enough. liaekstage. Harris, possibly of necessity, runs a tighter shiu. No subcommittee staff member has anything like the authority that McClellan vested in his former chief counsel. Robert F. Kennedy, Harris, who has McClellan's old House" seat, normally keeps the subcommittee's plans to himself and has imbued the staff and 0her members with an unusual formation to give his testimony at closed sessions.

Your jeweler knows that the lure of low prices may be hard to resist, but he also knows that cheap watches may prove costly in the long run. Frequently, "cheap" watches cannot read ily be repaired because replace ment parts are not available at stores in which they are sold and must be returned to the factory of the maker for service a time-consuming operation.
