Popular, hard-working Winner Joseph F. Carlino, 42, is the son of an Italian politician who quit Tammany

Hall for Republicanism upon moving the family outside the biggest city's limits to Long Island's Long Beach (pop. 31,800). Carlino promptly demanded "a greater realization of the problems of the metropolitan area," received a vigorous, Latin-style abrazo from Rockefeller, who thus seemed to embrace the oft-neglected voting power of the ever-growing suburbs.
