...sedate college seminar than a campaign for the U.S. Senate-a refreshing antidote to the bitterly personal presidential contest. Running for the seat being vacated by Connecticut Democrat Abraham Ribicoff, who is retiring after 18 years, are two candidates who offer a sharp ideological choice. Liberal Democrat Christopher Dodd, 36, a popular three-term Congressman, calls for more effective Government rather than less of it.

Another point embarrassing to the Secretary: he is known as a regular diner at Dominique's. Last week the kitchen got too hot for Andrus, and he reinstated Dodd. As for Dominique's, it now serves the plentiful, unendangered diamondback rattler...
...improper expense accounts. In effect, the committee wanted to recommend that the Senate censure Talmadge without using that fateful word. "Censure" is a punishment that has been applied only seven times in Senate history; the last occasion was in 1967, when the Senate passed judgment on Connecticut Democrat Thomas Dodd for pocketing campaign funds...
