...LINES. By far the greatest change will result from the redistricting required in 25 states after the 1960 census. A characteristic case is in Illinois, where seven-term Democrat Peter F. Mack Jr. and Freshman Republican Representative Paul Findley were squeezed into a new downstate district by a G.O.P. legislature that clearly hoped to sack Mack. An unpredictable liberal (he voted against foreign aid this year), Mack was given twelve rural Republican counties. Findley, a weekly newspaper publisher and a Goldwater conservative, seems ahead. But Mack is durable: when another G.O.P. legislature gerrymandered his district a decade...

A political whiz kid, Anderson was elected to the legislature at 21, managed the successful campaigns of Senator Quentin Burdick and Governor William...

He is running in New York's suburban 26th District (part of Westchester County) after knocking off Incumbent Edwin Dooley in the primary. His opponent is Liberal-Democrat Stanley W. Church, 62, a 20-year mayor of New Rochelle. But the most becoming face of all belongs to Iowa Republican Sonja Egenes, 32, a former Iowa State science professor, who has a chance to unseat Democrat Neal Smith in the district near Des Moines. She accuses Smith...
