SARBANES' ROMP. A cool, low-keyed Rhodes scholar with an English wife, Congressman Paul Sarbanes appears to be riding to victory in a contentious Senate race in Maryland.

Rosalynn Carter was scheduled to make campaign appearances with Lady Bird in Texas while her husband's L.B.J. remark was still on the air and in the headlines. Though Lady Bird was cool, she met Rosalynn in San Antonio and conducted her through the Johnson Library in Austin without so much as a mention of Playboy. At week's end, during an airport press conference in Houston, Carter tried to mollify L.B.J. admirers by explaining away his remarks as "an unfortunate juxtaposition...
