...Connecticut race for the Senate seat vacated by three-term Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn) offers a refreshing palliative to the overly personalized presidential contest. James Buckley, former New York senator in the '70s and Christopher Dodd, popular three-term congressman from Connecticut, present clear ideological choices, opposing each other on just about every issue...
...jurors were asked for their verdicts on six charges against the defendants. Once again, as in the conviction in August of Democratic Congressman Michael ("Ozzie") Myers of Pennsylvania, the FBI video tapes from the Abscam investigation had proved persuasive. Shaken by the barrage, Defendant John W. Jenrette Jr., a three-term Democratic Congressman from South Carolina, lowered his head and sobbed. Still red-eyed later, Jenrette told reporters in a trembling voice, "I can look at my two beautiful children and my gorgeous wife and say, regardless of what those tapes say, that I didn't take any money...
...than a campaign for the U.S. Senate-a refreshing antidote to the bitterly personal presidential contest. Running for the seat being vacated by Connecticut Democrat Abraham Ribicoff, who is retiring after 18 years, are two candidates who offer a sharp ideological choice.

The son of a tenant farmer, Capehart made a fortune selling jukebox equipment and got into politics after organizing a 1938 "cornfield convention" of 20,000 Republicans. As Senator, he supported farm subsidies and helped establish the Small Business Administration. An enthusiastic McCarthyite, Capehart staked his 1962 senatorial campaign on a tough anti-Cuba stand ("invade or blockade") and lost narrowly to young Birch Bayh when President Kennedy's embargo of Cuba took away his thunder...
...MUCH of this really matters, of course, because the election, in keeping with tradition, is basically a referendum on White and his three-term record. Corruption, the shining issue in the Watergate-on-the-Charles atmosphere of 1975, has faded away; only one candidate still supports the ides of a new watchdog unit to oversee activities in City Hall. "If integrity was the issue in 1975," says one city insider, "leadership is the issue this year." The natural issue for this election was "time for a change." But for the majority of Bostonians, King is too much of a change...
