...January will differ markedly because of the retirement of many old standbys on the Hill. Both parties in the Senate are losing their leaders, Democrat Mike Mansfield of Montana and Republican Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania. In addition, such Democratic stalwarts as Philip Hart of Michigan and STuart Symington of Missouri are ending Senate careers that began in the 1950s...
...Missouri--The airplane crash that killed Representative Jerry Litton just hours after he had captured the Democratic Senate nomination probably also dashed the Democrat's hopes to hold the seat occupied for so long by Stuart Symington.

He is well ahead back home in Michigan, and hangs on-but just by his fingertips-in Iowa and Bob Dole's Kansas. South Dakota is seen as a tossup. So are the region's three richest electoral prizes: Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin...
