At the time, he was a titan, one of a small group of men who ruled their committees like lords in the Middle Ages. Their will was never challenged; their decisions were never questioned. Eastland was a chairman's chairman, a son of the South, a master of the rules and a man with an unshakable contempt for the foolish and, worse, the inexperienced. \"Hatch,\" he barked, \"how about going to dinner?\" \"I'd be delighted,\" I said quickly, having no intention of refusing. I was the newest member of his committee and had the most to lose from his displeasure. \"After we had ordered, Eastland fell silent. For twenty minutes, I said nothing, waiting for him to speak. He puffed on his cigar and worked on a large bowl of soup, the whole time glaring into the distance. I began to wonder if I'd made a mistake, if I wasn't supposed to be there. Suddenly Eastland looked over at me, his face in a snarl. \"Hatch,\" he snapped. \"Yes, sir?\" \"Do you think we can save this country?\" \"Oh, yes, sir,\" I said, bushy-tailed with enthusiasm. \"Bullshit,\" Eastland growled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSenator \u003cb\u003eOrrin Hatch\u003c\/b\u003e has served in the U.S. Senate since 1976 and is now the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
