...Angeles' mayoralty elections are nonpartisan, and while Jimmy, 57, is a liberal Democrat and Yorty, 55, is a conservative Democrat, ideology is not playing much of a part in their campaign. Rather, the race is more an extension of the longstanding feud between Democratic Governor Pat Brown and Democratic Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh. Roosevelt has charged that there is a "sinister alliance between the political machines of Big Daddy [Unruh] and Little Daddy [Yorty]" which "must be stopped and not allowed to take over city government, lock, stock and barrel."

National Debate. The hardy perennial among proposed amendments calls for equal rights for men and women, a 450-time loser since 1926. The late Senator Estes Kefauver was author of 35 proposals, but the heavyweight champion is New York Democrat Emanuel Celler, at last count author of 49 amendments.
