...three of last week's big election winners-Ed Koch, Brendan Byrne and Carol Bellamy-got together with Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, New York Governor Hugh Carey and Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz, they could form a little association. Its name: the Davey Garth Fan Club. All those potent pols are, or have been, the clients of David Garth, the nation's most sought-after campaign strategist. His record this year: five winners among six clients. Garth's secret? Says the hard-working consultant: "There are ad agency guys more creative than I and professional pols more...
...Slope was a well-to-do neighborhood of elegant three-story brownstone mansions until their owners began moving to the suburbs. The area's slow decline was partly arrested in the 1960s when middle-class professionals began renovating many of the houses, including one that was bought by Lawyer Hugh Carey. Even after he moved to the Governor's mansion in Albany in 1975, Carey kept the house in Park Slope in the family.

(Ironically, D. Gottlieb & Co., Bally's chief rival, produced a model called Playboy back in 1932, when Hef was six years old.) The English, among the world's most passionate pin pushers, trace pinball's origins to the bagatelle board mentioned in Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Abe Lincoln was big on bagatelle. The sheiks of Araby are clamoring...
...contest of strange political bedfellows. Koch, the liberal, anti-war, gay-rights activitist, has assumed the status of favorite, riding the Democratic machine to a commanding lead in the most recent Daily News straw poll. Meanwhile, Cuomo, the centrist candidate who entered the race with the blessings of Gov. Hugh L. Carey's new-formed political apparatus, has watched his support dwindle to the lone endorsement of the Liberal Party--a maverick label that, in light of Cuomo's close association with old-line politicos, is at best incongruous. On the surface, it would seem an interesting race...
