...liberal Attorney General, swamped Syracuse Mayor Lee Alexander, 47, for the Senate nomination. Texas-born Clark moved to New York in 1969, but he still looks-and sounds-strangely out of place, Gary Cooper lost in Times Square. Even so, Clark waged a highly successful campaign of low-key rage at social injustice. He put a ceiling of $100 on contributions to his cause and vowed that he was out to help "restore integrity to government." Facing Clark in November: liberal Republican Senator Jacob Javits, 70, who will be trying for his fourth term...

...fund and received more in total alumni gifts than any other public or private educational institution in the country. Harvard's alumni donation network is vast and geared for maximum impact. Needless to say, it is highly successful. Radcliffe, on the other hand, has a much more informal and low-key system for soliciting donations from alumnae.

...There is one piece by Richard Fleischner, in the grounds of Chateau-sur-Mer, that shows exactly the kind of unpretentious but intelligent relation that an earthwork can have to its environment: an undulating meander maze, a barely noticeable ripple on the lawn, covered with sod grass. It is low-key and perfectly appropriate in its site, harking back to a time when stately homes had garden labyrinths as a matter of course. In sum, the "Monumenta" project discloses a great deal about the survival of public sculpture in the 1970s in something other than its usual urban form...

...major speech. "Let's get on with it." So saying, he set off on a week of action perhaps unmatched in the White House since the most frenetic days of Lyndon Johnson. Though any new Administration is necessarily active, the casual Ford made it all seem unhurried, genial, low-key...
