...hard-pressed Republican State Chairman John Feikens hears the Republicans called the rich man's party, he wonders, forlornly, what country and what planet the Democrats are talking about.

Jackie refuses to share a platform with Saund ("I'm the popular national figure; why should I give him the publicity?"); Instead she darts around the district on her own, outfitted for frequent changes of clothes in the hot weather (she believes that a rumpled woman candidate wins no votes) and armed with a card catalogue on issues.

Most popular: Cranes in the Moonlight by Japan's leading lithographer, Yoshinobu Masuda, 51, and Zebras, by Swiss Painter Hans Erni.
