Perhaps the correspondents' most pleasant memories of the 1978 election are held by two men with greatly dissimilar experience. Senior Correspondent Jim Bell, who rode the Wendell Willkie presidential train in 1940, believes this year's Senate race in Massachusetts between Edward Brooke and Paul Tsongas was the fairest and most honorable campaign he has ever seen. "The two candidates," says Bell, "ended up the way they started: gentlemen...
...Congress, especially in the Senate. Some new right-wingers (Mississippi's Thad Cochran, Colorado's Bill Armstrong, Jepsen and Humphrey) have swelled the ranks of the old (North Carolina's Jesse Helms, Idaho's James McClure, Texas' John Tower and South Carolina's Strom Thurmond). With the defeat of Edward Brooke in Massachusetts, the Senate's only black, the waning power of the liberal Republicans has been reduced even further.

The University's voice in the project is relatively insignificant--all Harvard wants is a painless transformation of the Square and a construction schedule that won't require mass student relocations...
...graffito distressed the cathedral's Dean, the Very Rev. Edward Patey, a clergyman known for his social conscience, but he defended the project forthrightly. "It might be called wasted space, wasted heat, by some," he says today, "but there is an instinct that one aspect of worship of God is to be aware of our smallness in proportion to his majesty. The medieval builders felt this. To go to worship God is not just like going out to buy a packet of fish and chips." As for the cost, Dean Patey has no apologies: "Compared with what people spend...
