Thus, the Republicans who emerge as leaders from the catastrophe of 1964 are veterans of the moderate wing. Some were not up for re-election and were essentially unscarred by the Democratic juggernaut-such as Governors Scranton and Rockefeller and former Vice President Richard Nixon. But of the G.O.P. candidates who breasted the anti-Goldwater tide, the strongest man in sight is Michigan's Governor George Romney, who won re-election in spite of an overwhelming Democratic victory in his state. If Romney wants to make a bid for the 1968 presidential nomination, his credentials will be impressive...
Brooke, now 46, will probably have a promising political destiny in Massachusetts, and perhaps national, politics if he is re-elected this year. A Scranton supporter at the Republican Convention in July, he speaks of the G.O.P.'s future with great concern. The Goldwater candidacy, he insists, "is incompatible with basic American principles," and he has given the national ticket a totally cold shoulder.

She has been re-elected twice, and in 1962 she was the sole Democratic survivor of a GOP victoryalat put Scranton in Harrisburg. When she did not get state organization backing last spring, she entered the Democratic Senatorial primary against State Supreme Court Justice Michael Angelo Musmanno, at the urging of her mentor, Sen. Joseph S. Clark. After months of fighting in the courts, she was declared the nominee with a margin...
...purchase of more domestic and less foreign coal. He made headlines over the past year during the Bobby Baker investigation. He has joined Sen. Clark in an unusual bipartisan "Report to the People" on television in non-campaign years. He was instrumental in securing the 1962 gubernatorial nomination for Scranton and, though a maverick on many issues, he has achieved a position of leadership within the state party organization...
