...Pillow. Nevertheless, the tradition-minded House may prove reluctant to refuse Powell his seat. Only some half a dozen members or members-elect have been excluded since the Civil War (other than those kept out because of contested elections), and some have been allowed to retain their seats even while in jail. Many Congressmen believe that keeping a member out really punishes his constituents by depriving them of a voice, and Powell's velvety, bourbon-cured baritone is clearly the voice that pleases Harlem's voters. In November, though aware of his defiance of the courts, they gave...
...headlines looked like something left over from Election Day, but they betokened a strictly nonpolitical alliance. It pretty well had to be nonpolitical, in fact. Sharon Percy, 21, pretty, honey-haired daughter of Illinois' Republican Senator-elect Charles Percy, votes the way her daddy does. John D. Rockefeller IV, 29, lanky (6 ft. 6½ in.) nephew of the G.O.P. Governors of New York and Arkansas, votes the way no other Rockefeller does.

Some examples were dramatic. The Irish Catholics of Massachusetts split wide open, deserting Democrat Edward McCormack by the thousands to re-elect Italian Republican John Volpe, who had been a good and popular Governor.

In Michigan, Governor George Romney carried Macomb County, a district full of prosperous second-generation Poles, by an easy 18,000-vote margin over Zolton Ferency, "the man with the ethnic name." Perhaps the most clear-cut demonstration came in Chicago's heavily Polish Eleventh District, which has been represented for years by a professional Pole, Representative Roman Pucinski. Pucinski is part owner of a Polish-language...
