...remarriage (one school of thought insists that the birth of his son, Nelson Aldrich Jr., just three days before the California primary worked to his disadvantage, reminding voters of his recent marital situation). There has been little enthusiasm for Richard Nixon since he turned out to be a poor loser in the 1962 California gubernatorial race. Despite Cabot Lodge's strong showings in primaries and polls, he is unpopular with many Republicans who feel that he is, in unlikely combination, too aloof and patrician and liberal; indeed, the main effect of Lodge's New Hampshire primary victory this...
...Other Side. Other Republican professionals note that Lodge is a two-time loser who has not won an election in 18 years. True enough, but that is only part of the story. Lodge has nothing to be ashamed of in his record at the polling places. He won his first five times out: twice for terms in the Massachusetts legislature, three times for the U.S. Senate.

In 1942, Eddie Arcaro chose Devil Diver over Shut Out; Shut Out won at Churchill Downs and Devil Diver finished way up the track. Like every other jockey, Shoemaker has heard that story at least a dozen times, and to test his own judgment, he flew into Lexington last week to ride Hill Rise for the first time in the Forerunner Purse, a Derby tune-up. It was not much of a race...
