...opponent, New-Dealing State Senator Richard Richards, was vigorously slashing away. A tireless, fast-talking campaigner who looks like Hollywood's idea of a fast-rising young politician, the 39-year-old Richards has built up his popularity by handshaking his way eight times from the Mexican border to Oregon. He smoothly tailors his extemporaneous talks to the needs of the occasion, e.g. before a Los Angeles luncheon club, he blasted Republican foreign policy; in a pitch for the Portuguese-American vote, he urged upward revision of McCarran-Walter Act immigration quotas; before a San Francisco Bay Negro organization...

...FIELD OF VISION, by Wright Morris (251 pp.; Harcourt, Brace; $3.50), takes a handful of "Sears Roebuck Gothic" Midwesterners, sits them in the stands of a Mexican bull ring, and has them re-fight the few past moments of truth in their lives. What dies in the ring is flesh; what has already perished in the stands is hope, mind and spirit. Among the fatally gored spectators: an icy arch-mom, the "chaste virginal mother of three"; her husband, a man who has transferred what little emotional-venture capital he once had into 3% matrimonial bonds; their grandson, a mobile...
