...speaks of an ongoing struggle, of the multitudes of Ed Brookes that will arise in the future and of a greater mission. He has tried to match his issue stands with his own identity but simultaneously separate his candidacy from his name. To the extent that Brooke's people succeed, they may be able to salvage what looks to be a slowly sinking ship. If nothing else, this election is a lesson, an education, in private vs. public affairs. Just what part of a public official's private life do you feel ought not to be considered? Brooke is asked...
...races for House seats vacated by Rep. Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.) and Michael J. Harrington '58 (D-Mass.), are different. Lawrence attorney James M. Shannon survived a brutal five-man primary fight in the Fifth District and as the Democratic nominee is an odds-on favorite to succeed Tsongas.

The predictable vote was 355 for Figueiredo, vs. 226 for Monteiro, who represented the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB), the country's only legal opposition party...
...known to bankers from a career dating back to the early '60s, when she was the lead singer of the Supremes. Ross is 34, so the script calls for a Dorothy who is 24 and a shy schoolteacher. This is awkward, because if the fantasy is to succeed, Dorothy must be childlike enough to be terrified of witches and wizards, and to talk trustingly with a scarecrow, a lion and a tin man. A woman of 24 who is that innocent should not be teaching school...
