Unless Powell purges himself of contempt by the time Congress convenes in January, California Democrat Lionel van Deerlin said, he would invoke a House rule that allows any member to challenge the seating of another. "No tradition of Congress," he said, "would be hallowed enough to justify seating...
...pretty, honey-haired daughter of Illinois' Republican Senator-elect Charles Percy, votes the way her daddy does. John D. Rockefeller IV, 29, lanky (6 ft. 6½ in.) nephew of the G.O.P. Governors of New York and Arkansas, votes the way no other Rockefeller does. He is a Democrat-and a fledgling politician who has just won election to West Virginia's House of Delegates.

Harry Byrd's "golden silence"--his refusal to support Democratic nominees for President...

The Irish Catholics of Massachusetts split wide open, deserting Democrat Edward McCormack by the thousands to re-elect Italian Republican John Volpe, who had been a good and popular Governor. Volpe even took that oldest Irish stronghold of all, Boston, city of "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald and James Curley. In New York, the Democrats followed the ethnic book by put ting an Italian (Frank Sedita) on the ticket as attorney general, but Rockefeller handily carried the Italian vote...
