The Week

■ lost, betw. Washington, D.C. & Hanoi, 1 Act. Answers to name “Logan.” In family since 1799. Finder pls. call State or Justice Dept.; if no answer, keep trying.

■ Primaries (do they go on forever?) in nine states September 12 brought no sweeping victories. Conservatives can be proud of New Hampshire. Firmly conservative Meldrim Thompson, who supported John Ashbrook in that primary, beat out Gov. Walter R. Peterson in the Republican gubernatorial contest. And the also conservative former Gov. Wesley Powell won the Republican senatorial nomination against three competitors; he faces a tough race in November against the incumbent, Democrat Thomas J. McIntyre. Two veteran House Democrats were defeated in close races. South Carolina’s seventeen-term Rep. John L. McMillan lost to State Representative John Jenrette by so narrow a margin that a recount may be ordered. In Colorado, twelve-termer Rep. Wayne Aspinall was defeated by college professor Alan Merson. Both are liberals; the determining factors in Aspinall’s ouster were reapportionment and the ecology issue on which the 38-year-old Merson pegged his campaign. And, unsurprisingly, Minnesota’s very liberal Democratic Senator, Walter F. Mondale, won an easy victory over a cabdriver, a construction worker and an environmentalist who campaigned on a bicycle.
