...least vulnerable liberal Republicans in the East is the Attorney General of Massachusetts. It is a safe prediction to say that Edward W. Brooke will be re-elected by a wide margin to the post he won two years ago, regardless of the expected Johnson landslide...
...PATRICIA NEARY was fixing to enlist in the corps de ballet at Radio City Music Hall when Balanchine drafted her. A tall (5 ft. 71 in.), long-stemmed native of Miami, she is known as "The Technician," and has excelled in an extremely wide range of roles in her year as soloist.

However, when welfare measures do not conflict with home rule, he supports them with the vigor of a man who has known poverty intimately. And, on the prime issue of constitutional reform, the prerequisite of any liberal program, Volpe's position is impeccable...
