- When the new Congress convenes on Tuesday, the familiar faces of 15 senators will be missing because they've retired. Daniel interviews two of the retirees, Arkansas Democrat David Pryor and Wyoming Republican Alan Simpson. Simpson blasts House Speaker Newt Gingrich, saying he is "tarnished" by his ethical troubles. Pryor, referring to the controversy surrounding President Clinton and the Democratic Party over foreign campaign contributions, issues a call for campaign finance reform.
