Mrs. Harris, 48, was initially opposed by party reformers who contended that she was too close to the old guard (she was L.B.J.'s Ambassador to Luxembourg).

Len, the Cockney whose abortive attempts to establish wife and family provide the structure of the piece, wants only to settle for a little peace and quiet, is willing to suffer living with his in-laws, even tries to look...
