...list is a thriving state economy because of the coal boom. Personal income in West Virginia is rising at the eighth fastest rate in the nation. From 1970 to 1977 it doubled, increasing to $6,068 per capita. The Governor also has an ability to keep cool. He remains, to a large extent, the unassuming, engaging antipoverty worker who first came to West Virginia 14 years ago, a carpetbagger who chose to stay. His wife Sharon, 33, the daughter of Illinois Senator Charles Percy, is a definite political asset. The lanky (6 ft. 6 ½ in.) Governor can often...

...other folks besides. John F. Kennedy Jr., who neglected to drop his name, was turned away. Aspiring Starlet Sunny Leigh, who claims that club personnel kept her outside the inner sanctum "violently and with great force," is suing Studio 54 for a cool $13 million. Even Dallas Cowboy Defensive End Harvey Martin, the terror of the Super Bowl, was stopped at the door. Now that's selectivity. Or a death wish...
