...defeated lackluster Otto Kerner for Governor of Illinois. As it was, the Goldwater debacle cost Percy the race, but established him as one of the G.O.P.'s most vigorous and attractive campaigners.

Equally prestigious, from the retired executive's viewpoint, is an appointment to a powerful (if nonpaying) position in public service. One such plum was won in October by Edwin M. Clark, 65, the recently retired boss of Southwestern Bell Telephone, who was picked to head St. Louis' industrial-development drive...
