At lower levels, there is also a dearth of attractive Democratic candidates in some key states. Sargent Shriver, long rumored ready to resign his ambassadorship in Paris to run for Governor of Maryland, is now considering moving to New York to seek the Senate seat once held by his brother-in-law Robert Kennedy, and currently occupied by Republican Charles Goodell...

And so it goes, through John Resor, son of Army Secretary Stanley Resor; Lindsay McKelvie, stepdaughter of CIA Boss Richard Helms; and Lincoln Chafee, son of Navy Secretary John Chafee. Avant-Garde suggests that "all ten of their fathers resign immediately and nominate their children as their successors." Another Republican stalwart with a dissenter in the family is Ronald Reagan, whose singer daughter Maureen...
