...winner and name to match. He is Henri Giscard d'Estaing, son of France's President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, running for the council of the farming district of Marchenoir. Giscard fils does not downplay his family connection or resemblance to the tall, coolly patrician Giscard père: "I have the virus of politics and I have had good coaching."

Also, Bellotti has discarded some of the more conservative tenets of his political philosophy. He comes across as a workingman's candidate more than patrician Weld--although both are equally hypocritical in claiming allegiance to the common man. The question is how much damage Weld has done to Bellotti's future ambitions. Bellotti may win, but his PCM-MBM connections could hurt him in a race for the governorship--a position he sorely wants...
