Thus in another race, Joseph D. Tydings, a stepson of Maryland's late Democratic Senator Millard E. Tydings and a liberal who was outspoken in his advocacy of the civil rights bill, won the Democratic senatorial nomination over State Comptroller Louis Goldstein, the choice of the Tawes organization, by a 123,000-vote margin.

She spurns a stolid admirer who is in the demolition business, destroying the old to make way for the new in the "martyred city" of Boulogne. Most troubled of the four is the widow's stepson, who cannot forget (nor can any conscientious Frenchman, Resnais seems to suggest) the part he took in the torture and ultimate death of a young Algerian girl named Muriel. The boy's awful recollections are hidden away in recordings and photographs, part of his weird search for a sort...
