PASCAGOULA, Miss. —Senator Lott of Mississippi announced yesterday he will leave a 35-year career in Congress in which he epitomized the Republicans’ political takeover of the South after the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. Mr. Lott said he wanted to leave on a “positive note.” He was first elected to Congress on the coattails of President Nixon’s re-election landslide in 1972 — with 72% of the vote in Mississippi.
