...biggest Republican winners-New York's Governor-elect Nelson Rockefeller, Pennsylvania's Senator-elect Hugh Scott, Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater, Oregon's Governor-elect Mark Hatfield-had one thing in common: highly attractive personalities that they effectively displayed to the voters. At the same time, the Democratic Party was far more successful in finding young, attractive candidates nationwide. In Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, for example, the six newly elected Democratic Congressmen averaged only 42 in age, as against 60 for their Republican opponents.

From London Diefenbaker flew to a whirlwind day in Paris, chiefly spent with Premier Charles de Gaulle, hopped on to Bonn and a brisk handshake from Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.

When the Health Center is built on Dunster Street and Cronin opens a new pub, it is sure to have one thing in common with the old one: the proprietor will be a candidate-in-good-standing for membership in the Men's Auxiliary of the W.C.T.U. Jim Cronin has never touched a drop, and probably never will. "When I was a boy they told me something in Latin about moderation. And I haven't been weaned from milk...
