Running in that election for one of New Hampshire's seats in the U.S. Senate, Republican Congressman Louis C. Wyman at first appeared to have defeated Democrat John A. Durkin by 542 votes out of 236,140 cast. A re-count requested by Durkin pronounced him the winner by ten, and he jokingly began calling himself "Landslide." Then Wyman asked for a review and that put him on top by two, making the vote the closest for the Senate since the 17th Amendment in 1913 established the popular election of candidates...

...ever-pregnant Mae, Joan Pape has a more authentic accent than Maggie, but she is not nearly vicious and venomous enough. Charles Siebert's cigar-smoking Gooper is adequate. This couple is not up to the Madeleine Sherwood and Pat Hingle of 1955. Wyman Pendleton's Reverend Tooker is a deft sketch; and William Larsen has the unrewarding role of Doctor Baugh, who, like a messenger in Greek drama, is on hand merely as the bearer of bad tidings. The children and servants perform their bits admirably...

...Thomas Wyman, 44. Following complaints from black militants, Polaroid Corp.'s senior vice president and general manager developed a widely emulated policy for his firm's South African operation that includes a black education foundation and executive training.

...Romeo's sidekick Benvolio, whom Shakespeare strangely allows to vanish completely from the play at the half-way point, Larry Carpenter lacks naturalness of speech. Theodore Sorel hoots his way through Prince Escalus, Wyman Pendleton is a hoarse Montague, and Donald Warfield's Paris is a proper stuffed shirt...

Moral Squalor. What appalled Congress was not so much the evidence of particular crimes as the moral squalor revealed in the transcripts. "This is the most nauseating thing I have ever read," declared a hitherto 100% Nixon loyalist, Louis Wyman of New Hampshire, who is not given to overstatement. Said Republican John Ashbrook, a conservative Representative from Ohio: "I listened to the President on television last Monday night, and for the first time in a year I believed him. Then I read the March 21 [1973] transcript, and it was incredible, unbelievable." Complained Massachusetts Republican Congressman Silvio Conte about...
