McCormack, 43, nephew of U.S. House Speaker John McCormack, who is widely known in the state -partly because he was an able attorney general (1958-63), but mostly because of his bitter, unsuccessful struggle with Teddy Kennedy for the senatorial nomination in 1962.

I wouldn't trade one of the memories I have...

Chief gainers from the Democratic infighting: Attorney General Edward Brooke, all-but-certain G.O.P. nominee to replace retiring Senator Leverett Saltonstall, and Republican Governor John Volpe, who is running for a second...
