...markedly ill at ease making small talk with the folks, though he excels at defending his record in office. If he wins reelection, much of the credit will go to Media Consultant David Garth, who has managed to convey a livelier image of the Governor. The Republican candidate, silver-haired Perry Duryea, is a millionaire Long Island lobsterman who has spent 18 years in the state assembly. He is attacking Carey for vetoing a bill to restore capital punishment, an issue that predominates in crime-plagued New York City. By mounting a phone operation that reaches some 400,000 city...
...pavilions and palaces and gardens is a wonder of the world. Assembled over five centuries by 24 celestially approved emperors and more than a million laborers, the Forbidden City is not only a marvel of space, extravagance and style but also a dazzling repository of art, in gold and silver, ivory and jade. Restored and main tamed by a crew of 1,000, it makes Versailles look like a nouveau riche country mansion.

But the record does not speak for itself. Duryea, with the silver mane and the mellow deliberate tones and the one careful vote for the Big MAC bond issue, can speak around it with startling effectiveness...
...cent lead in the polls, and the governor still spends most of his time struggling against his own misanthropic image. And so out in Montauk, where Perry's people are readying the boats for a winter season of dark surf and sharp winds and streaming silver fish too small to catch, the mood is light despite the weather. In early November, after all, the fluke start running, and it looks like a good season...
