...onetime Reagan speechwriter who defeated four-term Senator Clifford Case in the 1978 primary only to lose the general election to Bill Bradley, spent nearly three times as much as Fenwick ($2 million, vs. $700,000) and accused her of being too liberal. Fenwick, 72, a pipe-smoking four-termer who has never lost an election, is an old-line Republican whose TV ads insisted that she "stands with Reagan." Her Democratic opponent will be Frank Lautenberg, 58, a computer-services executive who spent a million dollars of his own money on his first bid for public office...

Reflecting farmer unrest, the G.O.P. captured, by one estimate, 57% of the rural vote v. 49.7% in the Goldwater debacle. Of 19 Democrats newly elected in 1964 throughout the region, 16 were retired. In all, Republicans picked up a net gain of 22 House seats in the Midwest?almost...
Republicans racked up only slightly less impressive victories in the congressional races. The Democrats lost ten of their 48 Representatives, among them such Capitol Hill veterans as California's seven-termer Harlan Hagen, defeated by Olympic Decathlon Champion Bob Mathias. In Senate contests no incumbent was defeated, and the Democrats had only one loss, the Oregon seat of retiring Maurine Neuberger that was captured by Mark Hatfield...
