...celebrations of many of the winners in last week's spate of off-year elections across the nation. Like the city's Mets, John Lindsay came from ignominy to take the mayoralty of New York, and did it without the endorsement of either major party. In Virginia, moderate Republican Linwood Holton seized the Governor's mansion, occupied for 84 years by Democrats.

They gave him a 96,000-vote plurality over Hubert Humphrey last year, though he carried the state by only 61,000 votes (out of nearly 3,000,000).
