Lynn Poole meets with Joseph W. Martin (R-Mass.), minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, who talks about the role of the politician. He manages public affairs through getting to know about the people he represents and learns about the history of the social, economic, and cultural background of that region. There are a great many opportunities for men in women in public service. Rep. Martin discusses the roles of congressmen and that of the Speaker of the House. Students who are interested in politics should study languages, history and international relations in college.
