Throughout his term in the Senate. and especially in his memorable exchange with Oliver North. Senator MITCHELL has demonstrated "gravitas". the quality of high seriousness which the ancient Romans demanded of their leaders. If seriousness of purpose is his defining characteristic. competitiveness runs it a close second. I can testify from firsthand experience. having seen him on the tennis court. He learned about hard work from his parents. immigrants who urged their five children to go to college. and from his brothers. who were all star athletes. In competition. in the Senate or on the tennis court. GEORGE MITCHELL is well prepared and fiercely competitive. but he is always a good sport.
