...victory hi the region will come in New York's gubernatorial contest. Congressman Hugh Carey, 55, an old-fashioned liberal given mod appeal by some adroit television ads, is running far ahead of Malcolm Wilson, 60, the earnest but lackluster incumbent who moved up from Lieutenant Governor when Nelson Rockefeller resigned last December. A poll published last month by Newsday, a Long Island newspaper, showed Carey leading Wilson by the surprising margin of 52% to 27%. Carey's strong showing has improved the once dismal prospects of his ticketmate: former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, an ultra-liberal...
Open and personable, Rumsfeld has the task of giving the President the protection he needs without sealing him off. A Ford ally when he served in Congress from Illinois, Rumsfeld was even considered for the vice presidency before Nelson Rockefeller was chosen.

In so doing, Rockefeller, 66, had to answer questions about his personal fortune that he has brushed aside throughout his 34 eventful years in public life. More than any man in the room, Rockefeller seemed to appreciate the irony of his situation. The descendant of robber barons cum philanthropists cum public servants, he wears the mantle of his heritage with easy grace, and he handled the Senators so adroitly that what could have...
...expect the committee to vote on Rockefeller until November. The House Judiciary Committee will probably conduct its hearings after the elections, which will prevent Rocky from campaigning for fellow Republicans. Then, presumably before year's end, both the House and the Senate will vote on the confirmation of Nelson Rockefeller as the 41st Vice President...
