Sweepstakes in the snow . . . by John Skow:
Although it started out last tall as a private duel between Nelson Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater. New Hampshire's Republican primary has now become a political free-for-all. This week the voters, who are also trying to decide what to do about their state's new sweepstakes lottery, face a ballot so crowded that it looks more like a racing form. And a ghastly vision haunts the candidates -- that the one who reaches the finish line first will find noncandidates Richard Nixon or Henry Cabot Lodge already in the winner's circle, posing for photographers. Contributing writer John Skow, a Vermonter who recently crossed over into the neighboring Granite State for a close look at the campaign, surveys the tactics and the prospects of the entries in this first heat of the long run for the G.O.P. nomination.

THE AUTHORS: When not running for President, Marvin Kitman is news managing editor of the political quarterly Monocle "My fellow editors,' he observes, "felt I deserved to be in Washington because of the skill with which I manage the news . . . In the course of researching her article on the Caribbean, contributing writer Anne Chamberlin did locate one island hideaway as yet uninvaded by tourists and is still there . . . Robert Gannon, a free-lance writer who lived with Richard Honeck during his last few days in prison, found conditions and methods strongly geared to the rehabilitation of inmates -- not like in the old Bogart movies at all." . . . George Walsh,a magazine editor and former college classmate of John Donohue, recalls having played on an amateur basketball team with the winning Power Academy coach and losing every game. Contributing writer Lewis H. Lapham, who traveled with a burlesque troupe through Maryland and Penn. sylvania for two weeks, learned a bit of the juggler's routine from a comedian and mastered the fine art of wardrobe "catching" from an exotic dancer . . . . In Jackson, Miss., editor-at-Iarge Harold H. Martin not only recorded the courtroom proceedings against Byron De La Beckwith but also talked with local citizens from all walks of life. "I wanted, he says, "to gain a real insight into the emotional climate in which this fascinating trial took place."
