...Shrivers have again leased Timberlawn, the 30-acre country estate in Montgomery County that they rented during Sarge's Washington days, he nonetheless faces charges of being a carpetbagger. A more serious obstacle is the fact that to run for the statehouse, Shriver must first knock off Incumbent Marvin Mandel, a fellow Democrat and the first Jewish Governor in Maryland history. Last January, the legislature chose Mandel, the longtime speaker of the House of Delegates, to fill out Spiro Agnew's term. Because Democrats enjoy an overwhelming 2½-to-l registration edge in Maryland, Mandel looks sure...
...they regard as tokenism, abortion reformers have since mounted campaigns in several states to abolish all penalties for abortions, provided they are performed by licensed physicians in approved hospitals.

Among the guests of Producer Don Mitchell and his novelist wife Gwen Davis (The Pretenders) was Shirley MacLaine.

...this would require 5,000 extra buses to transport 250,000 children daily. Gitelson scoffs at all such huge estimates as "merely an exercise in mathematics." Yet the plan does seem impractical, and City Councilman Marvin Braude just could be right when he calls it "a disaster for our community." In a typical if oversimplified anti-integration complaint, he argues that "you just can't solve all the inequities in our society by putting the burden on small schoolchildren."
