More Help than Hurt. Politically, Dirksen's distaste for the reapportionment ruling is puzzling, since it has helped Republicans more than it has hurt them. Initially, political scientists thought that the state legislatures would see a swift, drastic transfer of power from rural areas to the predominantly Democratic inner cities. Power has in deed flowed away from rural representatives-but to suburbia, where political loyalties are still in flux and Republicans are more often elected than Democrats...
Last week Rockefeller even encouraged New York Republican State Chairman Carl Spad to resign his job and go to work for Romney. An astute political pro, Spad, 50, has been in Rockefeller's inner circle for nine years, was his chief patronage dispenser and also labored hard on behalf of the New Yorker's presidential bids in 1960 and 1964. In the Romney camp, Spad will probably work under Leonard Hall, chairman of the Washington-based Romney for President Committee...
...Some 35,000 autoworkers in Manchuria were said to have wrecked eight schools used by the Maoists as bases.

Thus, after meeting with leaders of the anti-Belt campaign, Volpe announced that new facts had come to his attention and that, as a result, he had ordered...
Moreover, his pledge proved to be only partially true. There was no "start from scratch" in searching for an Inner Belt route through Cambridge. The DPW did make an intensive comparison of the Brookline-Elm St. route with the Portland-Albany alternate, but that was all. The DPW made it clear that Brookline Elm was still the route to beat and that only astounding new in formation would convince it otherwise. Even though eight months and $30,000 were spent on the new study it would have been surprising had the DPW reached a new conclusion. The department used...
