...guess we are pretty much agreed on everything," admits Democratic Candidate Orin Lehman. "There isn't much difference on issues," says his Republican opponent, Theodore Kupferman. Their Alphonse-Gaston dialogue has brought stupefaction to voters of New York's 17th Congressional District, one of the most sophisticated, issue-conscious constituencies in America. Covering the east-central quarter of Manhattan Island, the district includes the art, music, publishing, theatrical and television nerve centers of the nation, upper-level Greenwich Village latitudes, and the gold-paved stretches of Fifth and Park avenues. Next week the 17th elects a successor...

...Kupferman and Lehman concur on virtually every major question, from bombing North Viet Nam (they oppose it) to abolishing the House Un-American Activities Committee (in favor). Both candidates fit the liberal, independent mold dear to the hearts of 17th District voters. Party labels mean little there; the Democrats have a registration edge of 38,000, but the district has elected Republican Congressmen since...

Tammanyphobes. Theodore Roosevelt Kupferman, 45, a former show-business lawyer and a city councilman, is what his name implies, a direct political descendant of Teddy Roosevelt's Progressives, and a Tammanyphobe from the school that brought on Fiorello La Guardia, Senator Jacob Javits and Mayor Lindsay. In the absence of debate, Kupferman has emphasized his legislative experience, reminds everyone that he is a "man like Lindsay," and even has Javits, Lindsay's chairman, to supervise his campaign-assisted by Tom Brownell, 25, son of Dwight Eisenhower's Attorney General...

Flipflops. Early in the campaign, the candidates almost had an issue. Lehman's name appeared on a newspaper advertisement supporting Johnson's policy in Viet Nam while Kupferman said that the U.S. should get out of Viet Nam "as soon as possible." Lehman withdrew his name from a second pro-Johnson ad. Kupferman explained hastily that it would be "unthinkable" for the U.S. to dishonor its commitment. Each accused the other of "flipflopping" as they came out shoulder to shoulder in favor of continuing the war and all-out efforts to seek peace. In 1964 Lindsay...

...written, produced and directed by two bright University of Chicago graduates, Philip Kaufman and Benjamin Manaster, who claim on slender evidence to have drawn inspiration from Israeli Philosopher Martin Buber's gentle, anecdotal Tales of the Hasidim. Blessed with strikingly good photography and the witty commentary of Meyer Kupferman's musical score, the movie was hailed by enraptured critics at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival as a wildly satirical fable. Actually, Goldstein is merely the sort of cinematic cliché in which a young hero says yes to life by running from scene to scene at top speed...
