...flip is that of former House majority leader Tom DeLay, who stepped down a year ago amid revelations of his ties to Abramoff. Although DeLay dropped out of his House race after the primary last April, it was too late to get his name off the ballot. Now the Democratic candidate Nick Lampson is the favorite of most oddsmakers to beat the late-starting G.O.P. write-in candidate Shelley Sekula-Gibbs. In southeastern Ohio, former House Administration Committee chairman Bob Ney is retiring after pleading guilty last month to trading favors for campaign contributions from Abramoff.

...Zhou played second fiddle—literally—at the Masonic Hall in Porter Square last night as Republican M. Elizabeth “Libby” Firenze and Democrat William N. Brownsberger ’78, candidates for state representative, faced off in the first of three debates. Zhou, the noted Harvard Square player of the jinghu, or Chinese opera fiddle, was hired for pre-game entertainment before a debate that was, for the most part, harmonious. Brownsberger, the associate director of Harvard Medical School’s Division on Addictions, is vying with Firenze to represent...
