TODAY IS: The traditional day for the U.S. Congress to assemble, per the 20th Amendment to the Constitution. In 1939, Jimmy Stewart -- the Tom Hanks of his day -- discovered how politics tries to kill idealism and honesty can trump corruption when he became a Senator in the wonderful Frank Capra flick MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON.
