Ogden Nash, 62, fled Manhattan in the spring to settle in his old home town of Baltimore (TIME, May 28). Mayor Theodore R. McKeldin shot off a welcome-back letter, and after some meditation the master of quizzical doggerel replied...
...chartered a couple of airliners to bring 42 Maryland Republicans to Manhattan for lunch, won a barely hedged endorsement from Baltimore's Mayor Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin: "Until I find a better qualified man, I'm for Governor Rockefeller!" After that, Rocky jet-sped to Miami for a six-hour stay, rocketed back to New York for a speech before the A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention, shot out to St. Louis for a speech to the city's press club...
Maryland's Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin is a Republican of partly Irish descent who believes in the luck of the shamrock, the shillelagh-and Baltimore's Southern Hotel.

In a dull campaign, pleasant, smiling Harold Grady paraded his past (onetime FBI agent, state's attorney for Baltimore city) and his children (four), vaguely mentioned urban renewal and the city's sagging transit system. But taking office next week, Grady will undergo a sudden, cold-shower lesson in humility. Like every large U.S. city, Baltimore is staggering under booming population, a tax squeeze, demands for more schools, housing and municipal services...
