...last week, when Democrat Bob Wagner was still cautiously, methodically planning his campaign (which he will open formally this week), Republican Jack Javits was off and running. On Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, Jewish ritual forbade his riding in a car. He therefore set off on foot from the swank, twelve-room Park Avenue apartment where he lives with his strikingly handsome wife Marion and their three children (Joy Deborah, 8, Joshua Moses, 6, and Carla, 1).
