Gubernatorial Hopefuls Thornburgh Specter Clash In Primary
Pennsylvania voters face a May 16 primary to choose between Richard Thornburgh and Arlen Specter as the GOP standard bearer. Thornburgh, a former U S attorney in Western Pennsylvania and ex deputy A G, rivals Specter, Philadelphia DA turned senator, in a contest shaped by crime busting credentials and distance from state government. Both men bring strong legal records, differing paths through federal and city offices, and similar ages as they campaign amid Shapp administration scrutiny.
