Thinker and Doer. Jakobson, the strongest of half a dozen leading contenders, hardly fits his own description. At 48, he is a sturdy, affable former journalist who fought against the Russians in the Winter War of 1939-40 and later wrote a scholarly but unflattering book about the Soviet attack. Jakobson has strong support in London and Washington, where the State Department rates him "a thinker and a doer." Paris has been cool partly because he does not speak particularly good French. In addition, Jakobson is Jewish, and the Arabs, who have not said anything so far about his candidacy...
...thing of awe, the Catholic parish pastor-a force as redoubtable and durable as a Southern Democrat in the U.S. Senate. He was a marvelous blend of Barry Fitzgerald and Boss Tweed: irascible conscience of the stingy, puckish doer of good deeds among the neighborhood's fallen.

Together they seem likely to introduce a new element within the White House, a counterweight to the relatively narrow conservatism of a number of the present top White House staffers.*Their recruitment in tandem indicates Nixon...
...administrative assistant to a protegee of Ted Kennedy, Massachusetts State Senator Beryl Cohen, Maryellen has on the wall above her desk a placard: HAPPINESS IS TED KENNEDY IN 1972. At the Chicago Convention last summer, the Democratic National Committee praised her as a "woman doer." In 1963, after she was graduated from Regis College in Weston, Mass., Maryellen decided to work in politics. "John Kennedy said that it was the only way to make things better, and that the whole world needed us," she says. Ted Kennedy recruited her to help in Bobby's presidential campaign-"A wild...
