...Narrow Path. Burns and the other governors-Lawyer James L. Robertson, Banker William Sherrill, Economists George Mitchell, J. Dewey Daane, Sherman Maisel and Andrew Brimmer-seem in general agreement on broad policy.

Since his election as Governor in 1966, Republican Bartlett has made his pitch personally to 106 presidents of the nation's top 500 companies, calculates that he has attracted $422 million worth of new industry and 26,300 jobs. He has even mailed 58,000 letters to former Oklahomans, inviting them to return to the state. Some 11,000 have expressed...
