Bellotti, a former lieutenant governor (under Foster Furcolo) and narrowly-defeated Democratic nominee for governor in 1964, has spent thousands on media advertisements that are carefully written to avoid concrete issues and to concentrate on Bellotti's personal image.

Furthermore, the bill is not one that pits liberal against conservative, for most of the state's liberals have either supported it, or out of personal loyalty to Donahue, remained discreetly silent. Finally, the bill is hardly a confrontation between...
