...ambitions has been making the trek to New Hampshire, which holds the first primary in the nation (Feb. 26, 1980). Illinois Republican Philip Crane, so far the only declared G.O.P. presidential contender, has made half a dozen swings through the state. Some local Republicans have informed Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker that they would like to start organizing for him, but Baker is now concerned with winning re-election by a big margin in Tennessee.

The show runs about two and a half hours--far too long, particularly in the first act--and I suspect some of Ms. Martin's numbers will feel the knife...
Guzzi and Tsongas were traveling through the state yesterday hitting shopping centers and the suburbs. Kathleen Sullivan Alioto stepped up her media campaign with an advertisement featuring an endorsement from Frank Sinatra. State Representative Elaine Noble and Conservative Caucus candidate Howard Phillips '62, both suffering from limited resources, made use of free air time and various public debate forums...
