Edward M. Kennedy blasted the Democratic presidential race apart Tuesday with explosive upsets over President Carter in the New York and Connecticut primaries.

The twin victories were largely the result of an almost incredible last-minute surge of support from urban, Jewish and liberal voters. They stopped at least temporarily the president's march toward renomination, and put the Massachusetts senator back in the fight. In New York, with 95 percent of the vote reported, Kennedy was leading Carter 59 to 41 percent. This, if it holds, would give Kennedy 163 delegates and Carter 119. In Connecticut, with 100 percent of the vote in, Kennedy topped Carter, 47 to 41 percent, to get 29 delegates to Carter's 25.

New Yorkers in large numbers said they were just far more concerned with economic issues. I Af I By REMER TYSON Free Press Politics Writer NEW YORK George Bush won the Connecticut Republican presidential primary by a narrow margin Tuesday, helping his teetering campaign to survive in the battle against front-runner Ronald Reagan. Reagan, meanwhile, marched on toward the GOP presidential nomination by picking up a large chunk of the 117 delegates elected in New York's Tuesday primary.

Bush and Reagan will divide Connecticut's 35 delegates almost evenly because the state's GOP rules require them to be allocated among candidates in proportion to the popular vote. U.S. Rep. John Anderson of Illinois finished third in Connecticut. He did not campaign in New York.

What do we have to be so optimistic about? A To begin, people who are programmed by Old World puritanic guilt and shame and self-doubt and self-denial cannot really begin to feel good about themselves and about the world. So often, the initial problem is an emotional misprogramming.

I feel all these old inputs that cause people to develop feelings of guilt and so on are phasing out and people are much more inclined to hope and to idealism and to activism. What about the scarcity of resources? A I have been saying for years that we are far from moving into an age of scarcity. I see us moving into an age of limitless, decentralized, non-polluting energy. Specifically, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen fuels later in the '80s or early in the 1990s, and then at the end of the century I expect us' also to have limitless nuclear fusion. (Fusion, not to be confused with existing fission.) How do you sum up the rest of your optimism? A My optimism is predicated on two things we are evolving beyond the industrial age to a post-industrial world of what I call telespheres and we are evolving to a new phase of evolution where we are no longer bound to this planet and no longer confined to aging, drying bodies.

A whole new species is evolving, extraterrestrial and immortal. You don't really expect all this to come about before the end of the century? A I believe that all this is happening right now. The liberation of values; the liberation of women, men, children. The phaseout of authoritarianism, of puritan-ism The creation of new resources and boundless energy. The opening of space.

The extension of life beyond 70 years or 80 or 90 years of age. The attempt to clean our environment How you expect life for Americans to change in the next 20 years? A I expect us to begin enjoying the new abundant energy and with this abundant energy we can create, abundant raw materials and abundant food. I expect us to grow more and more mobile. More trans-global and at the same time more fluid. Less mired in a specific community or specific job.

I expect a vigorous move" toward the creation of a North American common market composed of the U.S., Mexico and Canada. I expect a continued slowdown of population, an accelerated upsurge of new life-styles. Expect the creation pf new forms of procreation. I see new forms of space colonization, a massive increase in life expectancy, a dip in the mortality rate. We will be more comfortable, more secure, more liberated, more in contact with ourselves and people around the planet.

The area's consumer price index rose 1.3 percent last month. That figure was below the January rise of 1 .7 percent in Detroit, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Labor Department.

February's rise in Detroit's consumer price index pushed the cost of living 1 5. 1 percent above the level of February 1979 compared with the national increase of 14.1 percent for the same time period.
