...Nunn. The new chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee will also get a lot of visibility. As an enormously popular Georgia moderate, he benefits from the impressive performance of his party in recapturing loyalty in the South...
Lean, voluble Wyche Fowler of Georgia has been one of the few whites to represent a predominantly black district in Congress. Elected in 1977 to fill the Atlanta House seat that Andrew Young vacated to join the Carter Administration, Fowler went on to compile the most liberal voting record in Georgia's congressional delegation. Last week, when Fowler, 46, defeated Republican Incumbent Mack Mattingly, 51% to 49%, to win a seat in the Senate, he proved that even on a statewide level, Southern white liberals are not a vanishing species, after...
Perhaps the toughest task before the new Senate majority will be speaking in a unified voice. There may be a skirmish for the soul of the party between the Kennedy-Cranston Old Guard and a neoliberal faction led by such Senators as Joe Biden of Delaware and Georgia's Sam Nunn.

Yet despite his expertise, precision of feeling...
Repentance is set in Georgia, the southern republic that was home to both Stalin and his dreaded secret police chief, Lavrenti Beria. Stalin never appears in the movie, but the main character, a local tyrant, is easily recognizable as Beria. Under his rule, people are arbitrarily arrested and then disappear. In one flashback, a woman searching for news of her missing husband hears about a delivery of logs carved with the names and addresses of prisoners. The woman searches in vain for her husband's name. Nearby another woman finds her loved one's name and caresses...
