...proprietors of Arizona's luxurious Camelback Inn point with pride to their "mouthwatering food" and the hotel's location in the "dry. healthful, sun-blessed desert." They also talk loftily of their policy of accepting only "selected guests." Last week the National Association of Attorneys General, which had planned to hold its annual convention next month in the Camelback, decided to meet in stead in West Virginia's famed Greenbrier Hotel. Reason: the Camelback's slogan of "Selected Guests" turned out to be a euphemism for "Hardly Any Jews Allowed...
Paleontologists know very little about that critical time, nearly 200 million years ago, when reptiles took the road that turned them into mammals, and eventually into man. They may know more soon. In the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona, an Indian Service agent found an outcrop of fossil-bearing rock. Driving down from Denver to investigate, Government Geologist G.

Yet "patronage" is too harsh a word for honesty; the governors-elect promised harmonious and progressive government, and the only place where a chief executive can look to find the type of men who can help him in this objective is in his party ranks...
...even governors with no chance for Presidential or Vice-Presidential nominations (such as the governors of Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, or Arizona) may have a chance to exercise national influence benefit-ting the Democratic Party. The governor's power to replace Senators who die in office with their own temporary appointments seldom draws much attention because control of the Senate rarely depends on these choices. But of the nine Senators who died during the Eighty-Third Congress, two Democrats--Lester Hunt of Wyoming and Pat McCarran of Nevada--were replaced by members of the opposite party. The new Democratic governors...
