Elections: Mixed Results in Georgia
Julian Bond and John Lewis were allies in the civil rights battles of the '60s, but they are now blustering rivals. Although each had hoped to emerge victorious from the seven-way primary held last week for the Democratic nomination in Georgia's Fifth District, neither cornered a majority of the votes. The two men will now meet head on in a three-week campaign that promises to be rougher than the first round.
In the contest for the U.S. Senate nomination, Democratic Representative Wyche Fowler defeated Hamilton Jordan, chief of staff in Jimmy Carter's White House. But Fowler faces a formidable rival in November, when he tries to unseat conservative Republican Senator Mack Mattingly.
