Technology rescues senators Talk about an exclusive club.
Once you're a member of the Senate, you're really a member of the Senate, even if you happen to miss the sitting for the official members' photograph that's taken every year. Two Republicans and three Democrats missed the photo session last week for the 106th Senate. As it turns out they didn't miss anything at all. Their like- nesses will be airbrushed in by the Senate photographer. So, instead of the 95 senators who actually showed up to have their mugs shot, all 100 will appear in the final product when it's released later this year.
