Former U.S. Sen. Charles McC. Mathias Jr. of Maryland dies at 87.
Charles McC. Mathias Jr., 87 , a three-term U.S. senator from Maryland who often clashed with his fellow Republicans over court nominations, the Vietnam War and social issues and was one of the last unabashed Senate liberals in the GOP, died Monday at his home in Chevy Chase. He had Parkinson's disease.

1. I read that this morning. He reminds me a bit of another GOP Senate liberal,
Lowell Weicker of Connecticut.
