...Massachusetts democratic gubernatorial campaign looks much the same now as it appeared during the first six months of political stumping. Two independent polls showed former Gov. Michael Dukakis comfortably in the lead, claiming 50 to 70 percent of the vote. Gov. Edward J. King still trails, with one-third to one-fourth of those polled backing him, while Lt. Gov. Thomas P.O'Neill III is edging out "undecided" voters for a distant third place...
...urging the U.S. to negotiate with the Soviets "a long-term mutual and verifiable nuclear forces freeze at equal and sharply reduced level of forces." The resulting resolution, signed within hours by 24 more Senators, was designed to counter a more radical measure introduced two weeks ago by Senators Edward Kennedy and Mark Hatfield. They called for an immediate and total freeze on nuclear armaments, with no provision for equalization offerees...
...educate the public to the true horrors of what war would mean to the U.S. and the world today, and thereby put pressure on a hawkish Administration to negotiate a cutback in nuclear arms with the Soviet Union. Some of that prodding is already coming from Congress. Senators Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Mark Hatfield of Oregon two weeks ago introduced a resolution that calls for a freeze on the testing, production and further deployment of nuclear weapons by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The nonbinding measure has already attracted the support of 22 Senators and 150 Representatives...
...EDWARD TELLER, "father" of the hydrogen bomb and a Reagan Administration science adviser: I hope [the nuclear-freeze movement] will not become an important force. I hope more sense will prevail. If the nuclear freeze goes through, this country won't exist in 1990. The Soviet Union is a country that has had totalitarian rule for many hundreds of years, and what a relatively small ruling class there might do can be very different from what a democratic country can decide to do. The rulers in the Kremlin are as eager as Hitler was to get power over...
...Boston's second largest daily the day Locke went to jail, is the first and simplest that comes to mind. But it does not ring true. If anything, Locke's case should call attention to a disease currently pervading the current administration. Recurrent charges against aides to Gov. Edward J. King, and King's continued insistence on ignoring a major corruption report, suggest that Bery Locke was just an unlucky scapegoat. And von Bulow's trial was sensational in part because only rarely is a criminal of his economic and social stature actually brought to trial...
