Big labor wants him. So do many Congressmen and Governors. Even some of the liberals who showed contempt for him in 1968 and 1972 now point out carefully that they never were really comfortable being against him. He has renewed his ties to Chicago Boss Richard Daley. "People are happy to see me wherever I go," he says. "I've never had it this way before." He seems almost...

Alaskan officials and some 44 labor unions are backing the El Paso plan which, as an All-American project they believe will provide more Alaskan and U.S. tax revenues and create more U.S. jobs. Congressmen from Eastern and Midwestern states favor the Arctic Gas proposal because it promises to guarantee their voters supplies of slightly cheaper gas.
