...odds are all against him. Lieutenant Governor Ray Shafer, 48, hand-picked successor of outgoing Governor William Scranton, won the Republican nomination with only a token (17%) challenge from Perennial Candidate Harold Stassen, can expect a united party behind him in November. Just to show how united and strong that party was-and to prevent a nonorganization man from sneaking in-Republican leaders asked and received a winning vote for Walter Alessandroni, the party's candidate for Lieutenant Governor who was killed in a plane crash ten days before the election...
...Administration viewed the bill as a pragmatic token of encouragement to the increasingly self-assertive, outward-looking nations within the once monolithic Communist bloc. And while Methodist Mills airily dismissed the need for such a gesture, a dramatic "independence" speech by Rumanian Boss Nicolae Ceausescu pointedly underlined the urgency behind a scheduled fence-mending mission to Bucharest by Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev (see THE WORLD...

Into the last category falls the breakneck acquittal last September in Hayneville, Ala., of Thomas Coleman, accused of killing an Episcopal seminarian and wounding a Catholic priest, both civil rights workers. It was at least slightly embarrassing to the state that Coleman, one of the local white courthouse-hangers...
