Attacking Anderson's frequent and unexplained absenteeism in the Senate, Boschwitz campaigned effectively, charging: "First Anderson appoints himself to the job and then he doesn't show up for work." Boschwitz won by more than 200,000 votes. Perpich ran a closer race but lost his Governor's office to veteran Republican Congressman Albert Quie, a moderate who earned a reputation as one of the G.O.P.'s most effective legislators in his ten terms in the House...
Outgoing Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp's administration Grasso victorious has been riddled by indictments and resignations. So when fellow Democrat and former Pittsburgh Mayor Pete Flaherty, 54, decided to run, he made a show of his independence of the Governor and of the entire state Democratic organization. That wasn't enough. A former U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh, Richard Thornburgh, 46, an underdog in the gubernatorial race, staged a comeback in the final weeks to defeat Flaherty by more than 200,000 votes...

Meanwhile...
Though public opinion polls show that an overwhelming 75% of the country's people favor restrictions on the growth of private consumption over the next two or three years, labor is already bucking the wage guidelines. The liquor deliverers, who are demanding a 15.6% pay raise, have begun a strike that presents aquavit-loving Norwegians with the sobering prospect that their country may have its first dry Christmas since prohibition ended in 1927. Whether or not that happens, Norwegians caught in the freeze can take at least some solace from the fact that King Olav V's annual stipend...
