After nearly a half-century, Lee Hamilton is packing his books, sorting his papers and preparing to head home to Indiana.
Since he arrived in Washington as a freshman congressman elected in the 1964 Democratic landslide, Hamilton has chaired some of Congress' most influential panels the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Intelligence Committee, the Joint Economic Committee, the Iran-contra inquiry and led or served on the nation's top blue-ribbon commissions investigating issues from the Iraq war to the 9/11 attacks.
