That kind of sentiment is typical of Laurel McKelva Hand, who is the Optimist's Daughter by his first long, happy marriage. Morally exacting and spiritually stern, Laurel is very much her mother's girl. The Optimist himself is gruff, generous Judge Clinton McKelva of Mount Salus, Miss...
...trauma-not only to Wallace but also to the nation's democratic process. Again, it raised the old questions of violence in America, of whether political candidates in a democracy dared to risk campaigning face to face with the people (see TIME Essay, page 26). The gunshots at Laurel, Md., also jarred the 1972 campaign into a new perspective.

In his first trial as a three-year-old, following a long winter's rest, he ran away with the Hibiscus Stakes. After missing out in the Everglades, he returned to the winner's circle last week with a coasting four-length victory over ten other...
