...Three. That left one Republican well in front: New York State's able Attorney General Louis Jacob Lefkowitz, 56. Born and bred in Manhattan's Lower East Side slums, sad-eyed Louis Lefkowitz worked his way through Fordham law school, worked faithfully for the Republicans during their leanest years, was tapped as a city judge by La Guardia, later did handsomely in private law practice, and has proved himself a hard and effective campaigner...

In the first week of practice, Lombardi yelled so long and loud that he lost his voice. He insisted that injured players run in practice ("You're preparing yourself mentally"), warned...
