host: calling from edmonds, washington. joanne, you are on the air. caller: i used to be a smoker.i am 80 years old and i started smoking when i was 14. 1968 ied on january 1, was going to quit. three days into it -- hello? three days into it i was having the worst day of my life. this lady came into where i worked and asked me how i was doing and i said i was having a horrible day. i quit smoking, and it was just terrible. smoking, when you quit you don't ever have to do it again. when you diet you have to keep eating. i was on the path to quitting. it was the best advice i ever got. guest: yeah, you make a good point. i've heard quitting smoking is very hard compared to even quitting drinking. someone who quit both many years ago told me until you are in the final stages of alcohol, you are not waking up and having a drink. many people will wake up and have a cigarette. have breakfast and have a cigarette. eating, everyone has to eat to survive. you do make a good point. it is not quite as hard as some things. host: robert, calling from little rock, arkansas. caller: good morning

concepts of representation which is the delegate versus the trustee models which came to us from edmond burke. delegates represent constituent interests and desires while trustees use independent judgment to promote the general welfare or the common good. that's the dichotomy which existed for many many years when thinking about theoretical models of representation. we have pictured here senator dimatto and senator moynihan who both represented new york in previous decades. and this is an odd couple. there's some odd couples in the state. this is definitely an odd couple, but not just for party differences that existed between the two. dimatto was the classic delegate model and senator moynihan was the classic trustee model. dimatto made it really a priority to represent the interests of his constituents and moynihan had a strong reputation as a senator concerned with national issues, a self-style policy expert. it is worth noting in political science there's established data on this dichotomy demonstrating the constituents actually view their senators through these different lenses. we

are not lazy socialists, that the marshall plan will work, and now he's confronted with the great edmond burke challenge of any elected statesman, do you owe your people obedience or judgment? richard nixon goes back to southern california and campaigns feverishly for seven months. he goes to every rotary luncheon, he goes to every chamber of commerce meeting. he makes the case for the marshall plan and when it's over, not only does he get renominated by the republicans, but under california's whacky electoral system, he gets the democratic nomination as well. people are so impressed by richard nixon. second time around richard nixon runs for the house of representatives as the democratic nominee and wins by acclaim in southern california. and yet, because richard nixon doesn't have a race in 1948, in the summer of 1948 he's footloose and fancy free, and when this guy whitaker chambers comes to the u.s. congress and talks about a spy named alger hiss, he has time on his hands and goes after him like a bulldog and it becomes this huge secondary story to truman's comeback victory in that f
