...pretty much agreed on everything," admits Democratic Candidate Orin Lehman. "There isn't much difference on issues," says his Republican opponent, Theodore Kupferman. Their Alphonse-Gaston dialogue has brought stupefaction to voters of New York's 17th Congressional District, one of the most sophisticated, issue-conscious constituencies in America. Covering the east-central quarter of Manhattan Island, the district includes the art, music, publishing, theatrical and television nerve centers of the nation, upper-level Greenwich Village latitudes, and the gold-paved stretches of Fifth and Park avenues. Next week the 17th elects a successor to John Lindsay...
Texas' Don Massengale, 28, does not pretend to be a big hitter. Besides, as he said, "I am always conscious of the ocean here."

Beyond that, he spoke strongly in favor of cutting tariff barriers and of expanding U.S. trade with Communist countries in Europe-even though such a stand will certainly meet powerful opposition in a war-conscious Congress...
Caught up in the balance between that relationship and the story of the murder, at the same time conscious of the ambivalence inspired by Capote's structural framework and tonal detachment, the reader finds himself stripped of objectivity. He is forced to participate intensely, not vicariously, in the public phenomenon of impersonal terror; and allowed to share in the private world of personal fantasy--where a childhood symbol such as Perry Smith's avenging parrot "flying overhead, red and green/green and tangerine" becomes a vision that enobles a headline terrorist...
