Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret M. Heckler told a crowd of about 400 at a $125 per plate fundraising dinner that Massachusetts had become a one partly Democratic state like the old Solid South. "Let's bring the balance back by sending Ray Shamie to the senate in November," the former Massachusetts congressman said...
...last night's event, Heckler and Fahrenkopf tried to roll out Reagan's coattails long enough for Shamie to stand on, claiming that Shamie's strength in the polls represented a trend toward conservativism. Both of them used most of their short statements to cheerlead for President Reagan...
...vote worked to their advantage in 1982, when Democrats--again with the exception of Silvio Conte--won every congressional race, the gubernatorial race, and the Senate race, with at least 58 percent of the vote.

Heckler and Dole have always held paying jobs, the former member of Congress from 1967 until last year, the latter a fast- track Washington bureaucrat under every President since Kennedy. The résumé's of all the women overlap in several places. All but Heckler grew up well-to-do in the South or West; all but Armstrong have postgraduate degrees. Dole was a Democrat in the 1960s; Armstrong campaigned for Harry...
