...Sandman moved to strike the first paragraph of the Sarbanes articles and threatened to make the same move against eight other paragraphs. When a vote was finally held late Friday night, Sandman's move was defeated by the same 27 to 11 margin (although there was some shifting of sides in the two votes). That took much of the steam out of a peripheral argument that centered on form rather than substance...
...next day, Sandman, at least, saw little benefit in pur suing the fight over specificity. "The argument was exhausted yesterday," he conceded to the committee, then withdrew his other eight motions to strike portions of the article under consideration. But now, having been harassed for their failure to detail each general complaint against Nixon, the Democrats were more than ready.

...states had important guber-natorial contests. In New Jersey, Democrat Brendan T. Byrne lived up to pre-election predictions in swamping Rep. Charles W. Sandman by a two-to-one margin. Sandman got only the most nominal endorsement from incumbent Gov. William T. Cahill, whom he defeated in the Republican primary and no support whatsoever from Republican Sen. Clifford Case. In Virginia, Republican Miles E. Godwin edged liberal independent Henry E. Howell by less than one percentage point...
