...view of some of its despairing critics, New York City is just too large and complex for any one man to govern properly-and Mayor Robert Ferdinand Wagner has certainly done much to confirm that belief during his eight fumbling, scandal-specked years in office. But Wagner is a Democrat, and New York is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. And last week, after one of the dreariest campaigns in its history, New York gave Bob Wagner 1,239,533 votes for a plurality of 402,980 over his Republican opponent, Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz. Running as an independent, City Controller Lawrence...
From the start of his campaign for Governor of New Jersey, Democrat Richard J. Hughes, 52, knew that he would have to answer one big question: "Who's Hughes?" A lawyer who had served ably but quietly on the New Jersey Superior Court, Hughes had never run for statewide office and was little known to the voters; in contrast, his Republican opponent, former U.S. Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell, had a nationwide reputation as one of the ablest men of Eisenhower's Cabinet for seven years. But by last week, almost everyone in New Jersey knew who Dick...

In 1959 the AEC gave him the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award-the highest honor the Government can bestow on an atomic scientist. Last January, four days before he took office as President, John Kennedy appointed Seaborg chairman of the AEC-the highest federal administrative post a U.S. scientist has ever attained...
...special congressional election in Texas' 20th District, centering in San Antonio, last week drew the absorbed attention of politicians all over the U.S. At stake was the House seat of Democrat Paul Kilday, who resigned to accept a federal judgeship. The candidates were evenly matched: State Senator Henry Gonzalez, 45, a liberal Democrat, and Lawyer John Goode, 38, a conservative Republican. Beyond the battle between conservative and liberal was an even larger question: Was the election last spring of Republican John Tower to Lyndon Johnson's Senate seat just a fluke, or did it mark a G.O.P. trend...
