...Tigers scored two runs in the fourth inning after Oakland starter Ken Holtzman hit a wild streak. Catcher Bill Freehan, starting his first game since September 21, when he broke his thumb, capped the Tiger scoring in the ninth with a home...
Candidate Holtzman was probably helped by the fact that she is a McGovern supporter and by an undeniable complacence on the part of Celler backers. The Congressman ruefully noted: "My problem was that I didn't have any problems." But Liz was an attractive candidate in her own right.

The campaign was almost purely one of issues -and age. Says Miss Holtzman: "I was a constituent of his, and I never saw him. He never seemed to attend any of the local meetings." With two years as a state committeewoman behind her, Liz Holtzman sailed into Celler, buttonholing anyone who would listen at supermarkets and subway stops. She attacked...
