Minneapolis: Albert Hofstede, 37, of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, and Charles Stenvig, 49, an independent conservative, are playing a game of musical mayors. Hofstede defeated Stenvig in 1973, then Stenvig ousted Hofstede in 1975, and now Hofstede has won again.

There were warm reunions with Bob Byrd, who beat him out for the post of majority leader only last January; Ted Kennedy, who fought him on behalf of his brothers; Strom Thurmond, who led segregationists in a protest at the 1948 Democratic Convention after upstart Humphrey, a mere 37 and mayor of Minneapolis, issued a clarion call for civil rights.
