Actor Ronald Reagan, leading contender for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in California, got a tough competitor last week. He is big, bluff George Christopher, a persuasive campaigner who served with distinction as San Francisco's Mayor from...
...Cincinnati Post & Times-Star Reporter Charles Rentrop can more than keep up with his youngest competitor. He has been covering city hall since 1944, and there are those who claim he is the most influential man in the building.

Across the Continent, the new gas finds are lighting an investment fever and bringing some chills to a vulnerable competitor, coal. As estimates grow of the size of The Netherlands' mammoth Groningen gas field (widely regarded as twice the official 1.1 trillion cubic meters), and as oilmen probe the bottom of the North Sea for what may be even larger deposits-one big one was hit last week off the West German island of Borkum...
