 | | Governor John Volpe, 57, now in his second term in office, has been one of the state's most effective and most popular chief executives. |
 | | This year Peabody won the Democratic nomination after a bruising battle with Boston's two-term mayor, John Collins, 47, an icy pragmatist whose political strength is based largely in the city, where he has mounted a brilliant if bloodless attack on urban renewal problems. |
 | | Volpe's opponent in November will be Edward J. McCormack, 43, nephew of U.S. House Speaker John McCormack, who is widely known in the state partly because he was an able attorney general (1958-63), but mostly because of his bitter, unsuccessful struggle with Teddy Kennedy for the senatorial nomination in 1962. |
