Carol Bellamy? Less than a year ago, most New Yorkers would have been hard-pressed to identify her correctly as a state senator. Now that she has toppled incumbent City Council President Paul O'Dwyer-one of the most respected figures in local politics-the fresh-faced, strong-voiced Brooklynite has become the city's newest Cinderella...

Doriot Anthony Dwyer, principal flutist with the Boston Sumphony Orchestra, was the only female principal player in any major U.S. orchestra when she was awarded the position twenty-five years ago.

For years the state has elected Senators named Javits and Buckley and Kennedy and Moynihan; for years it has rejected two men named Abe Hirschfeld and Paul O'Dwyer. Yet neither has thrown in his cards. Hirschfeld, a millionaire garage contractor, has already spend enough money to buy the Capitol dome in his biennial attempts to win a seat of his own. And O'Dwyer, a die-hard politico, has maneuvered his way through an entire dormitory of strange...
