...beat Carter in all three of the primaries in 1976 where he appeared on the ballot. His unconventionality has by now become rather conventional; he is expected to do the unexpected. Behavior that seemed refreshingly uninhibited at first now may strike people as overly opportunistic. Asserts Tom D'Alesandro III, the former mayor of Baltimore who supported Brown in 1976: "He was a mystery then-this unique young man from out of the West who came in on a whirlwind. People now either like or dislike Jerry Brown. The mystery is gone...
Baltimore: Double Exposure Baltimore's mayoral race ended not in a photo finish but a double exposure. Democrat Thomas D'Alesandro III, 38, a five-year president of the city council, succeeded to the mayor's office that his father, Tommy D'Alesandro Jr., had occupied from 1947 to 1959. In a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 5 to 1, young D'Alesandro defeated G.O.P. Moderate Arthur W. Sherwood...
...Maryland Governor and another moderate Republican, made a last-minute decision last spring not to seek re-election-likely because he saw he would lose.

(Best scene: a mistily magical sequence in which the fishermen of the Kwei valley, winged like big birds in their bright wet coats of bark, glide out upon the morning waters on their slender rafts and dance them on the current to attract the fish.) But the film as a whole has no shape, makes only...
...Campaigner McKeldin-like D'Alesandro before him-found himself the victim of time's toll and the itch for change. In a dull campaign, pleasant, smiling Harold Grady paraded his past (onetime FBI agent, state's attorney for Baltimore city) and his children (four), vaguely mentioned urban renewal and the city's sagging transit system. But taking office next week, Grady will undergo a sudden, cold-shower lesson in humility. Like every large U.S. city, Baltimore is staggering under booming population, a tax squeeze, demands for more schools, housing and municipal services...
