...casualty was ten-term Minnesota Republican Walter Judd. Perhaps the most respected G.O.P. foreign policy voice in the House, Judd fell victim to the cold arithmetic of the gerrymander. His Minneapolis district had been enlarged to take in all of Minneapolis, rather than just his old Republican wards. In a record off-year vote, Judd led in his old district by 10,860 votes. But in the added wards, he trailed by 16,997. The man who beat him was State Senator Don Eraser, 38, a New Frontier liberal in the tradition of Senator Hubert Humphrey, who campaigned...

When it came, he took it, boldly and without a second thought, like the hero of a perverse version of the American success story. The victim of his success, Alger Hiss, was not simply being kind on that television show when he said of Nixon, "He was responding to a situation in this country, an ugly period, an ugly time, and riding it rather than actually creating it, I think.

They are favorite sites for colonization by cancer cells, and the whole lymphatic system may fall victim to a cancerlike process. (Best-known example: Hodgkin's disease.) There may be miles of lymphatic ducts, but they are so fragile and elusive that nobody has measured them. Often buried in fat, they shrink to the vanishing point when not filled with fluid, and disappear at the gentlest...
