...NOVEMBER Action Committee celebrates its second anniversary with a gala charity ball at the Ritz-Carlton to benefit the wives and families of prisoners-of-war in North Dakota. The theme of the fete is "Tell It to Bismarck." To charges that NAC has copped out, leader Michael Ansara answers helplessly, "This is the only way we could keep our tax deduction and our Ford Foundation grant. Below, ANSARA receives check for $50,000 from McGEORGE BUNDY (smiling), president of the Ford Foundation (assers: $21/2 billion), as NATHAN PUSEY (pouting), president of the Mellon Foundation (assets: $600 million), looks...
...vaudevillian's line used to be, "From Omaha? Nice place to be from." On the evidence of the 1970 census, the most prominent places to be from during the '60s were North Dakota, which lost 2.3% of its population, South Dakota, which lost 2.1% and West Virginia, which lost 6.2%. A favorite place to go was still California, the last continental stop in the American migration, which became the nation's most populous state, with 19,953,134 residents. In the final 1970 census figures, announced last week, California surpassed New York by 1.7 million, thus gaining...
...South Dakota Senator is personally mild, all right, tends to speak in complete sentences and simple words, leaves the rostrum before him mostly unpounded, and believes-as he said here last week-that "the task of political leadership is to appeal to what is best in each one of us instead of what is mean and divisive." Yet, anyone who heard him the night before at a raucous Democratic party rally in the municipal auditorium at Albuquerque might be forced to revise his opinion about George McGovern's stump style-and the political atmosphere...
Next door in Minnesota, Wendell Anderson, a 1956 Olympic hockey player who has spent twelve years in the state legislature, used an open, pleasant campaigning style-and Hubert Humphrey's coattails-to defeat Republican Douglas Head, the outgoing attorney general. South Dakota's Richard Kneip, a dairy equipment dealer and minority leader of the state senate, beat Republican incumbent Frank Farrar by accusing him of inadequate leadership in tax reform. Soaring taxes and spending did in Republican Governor Norbert Tiemann of Nebraska, who lost to J. James Exon, a Lincoln businessman (office machines and equipment) and former Democratic...
...easy for liberals to see the Apocalpyse arrived. Goodell, Duffey, Hoff, Tydings, and Gore all met defeat at the hands of Nixon men. Yet as the morning wore on and the cameras began to focus on the Western boards, the results were different. In Indiana, Utah, Nevada, North Dakota, and Wyoming, where Conservatives of the true mold had given their votes to the Republicans in 1968, the Administration bootlickers met ignominious defeat. And in California, a topsy-turvy state where currents and trends are so many and so strong, where San Jose had whipped the reactionary conservatives into their rabid...
