...year ago, it looked as if there would be no real race. Mark Odom Hatfield, 44, the trim, Hollywood-handsome Republican Governor, seemed assured of election to the U.S. Sen ate seat of retiring Democrat Maurine Neuberger. Hatfield has eight solidly progressive years behind him in the Salem stalehouse, is well known and well liked throughout the state, and is one of the G.O.P.'s most talked about prospects for national office. Then, last July, his constituents learned that Hatfield had re fused for the second year running to support a motion endorsing the Administration's Viet...

Even then, millions of women obdurately refused to unbind-and not only because letting the feet out was almost as painful as binding them up.
