...ILLINOIS. The governorship of Illinois is a plum for either party; for a change, in a state where machine politics is a Daley occurrence, two attractive candidates are battling over it. The incumbent, Moderate Republican Richard Ogilvie, 49, is campaigning on a respectable record that includes improved mental health and welfare administration and increased state-local revenue sharing...

Goldman marks the Sabbath of Passover Week with his civil rights-oriented "Freedom Sabbath," which is attended by representatives of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and of the N.A.A.C.P., labor organizers and Protestant ministers. In Miami Beach, the ads for a kosher hotel promise not only an olympic-size saltwater swimming pool, but also "Passover Specials" in room rates and a cantor and choir for Seder services. In Connecticut, a self-proclaimed congregation of Jewish humanists fashions a Passover Haggadah (the Seder narrative) that manages to avoid any mention...
