"He's never even had an amend- ment adopted by the House of Representatives." HE CONSTANTLY calls upon Riegle to justifly his votes against defense spending, for busing, and for quick prison parole. Forcing Riegle to de- bate the issues on Republican territory, Esch is drawing the boundaries and setting the focus of the campaign. Not that he has the Democrat bound and gagged; when Riegle told a debate audience last week that the Republican talks more about Riegle than Riegle does himself, therewas scattered applause. If he continues to con- centrate so heavily on Riegle's record rather than his own, Esch may confuse the voters as to what sort of senator he himself proposes to be. The son of a Pennsylvania coal miner, Esch, 49, graduated from the university with a po- litical science degree, then re- ceived an M.A. and a Ph.D. here in speech and education. He taught speech at Wayne State University in Detroit for sev- eral years, then served two years in the Michigan House of Representatives. He defeated in- cumbent Democrat Weston Viv- ian by a handful of votes in 1956 for the U.S. House seat. ESCH'S MODERATE record in the House has provoked both skepticism and praise. His near- So per cent ratings from both the liberal Americans for Dem- ocratic Action and the conser- vative Americans for Constitu- tional Action prompted Ralph Nader to call him "quite liter- ally, his own man." Political opponents have called him "wis- hy-washy" and "spineless."
