...make him a star in She Done Him Wrong. None of the 1,000 satisfied her, however, and she started looking at the men in newer movies. When she came to the 1971 remake of Wuthering Heights, she took one look at Heathcliff, a British actor named Timothy Dalton, and yelled "Him!"

Virginia's Republican Governor John Dalton has been the most militant to date, merely by putting the National Guard on a stand-by basis.

Dalton, a moderate conservative, overcame the 2-to-l Democratic bulge in the Virginia electorate by attracting twice as many independent voters as Howell. Only the election of middle-of-the-road Democrat Charles S. (Chuck) Robb as Lieut. Governor gave the Democrats any joy. Lawyer Robb, 38, Lyndon Johnson's son-in-law, is already being touted as a possible gubernatorial candidate...
