...sharp contrast to the presidential race, most battles for the nation's statehouses were decided early and decisively. Republicans entered the election holding 26 governorships to the Democrats' 24; of the 21 statehouses on the line this year, 13 were in Democratic hands, eight held by the G.O.P. When the returns were sorted, the Republicans had gained five governorships, raising their total to 31?more than double their 1960 low of 14 statehouses. The G.O.P. now had control of six of the nation's most populous states (California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania), if only for a while...

Edwards, a former minister of the Christian Church, after Edwards had made the bad check good. As proof, Highsmith offered sworn statements from Edwards and an alleged contact man. Next day the Herald arranged to fly Edwards and his colleague to Chicago for lie-detector tests. Though Edwards' test...
...into a powerhouse that captured five N.F.L. titles in the next nine years has there been a success story to equal Allen's. The Los Angeles team that George inherited in 1966 had not enjoyed a winning season since 1958. That first year under Allen, the Rams won eight games and lost six. Last year, they scored the most points (398) in the N.F.L., allowed the fewest (196), and posted a record of eleven victories, one defeat and two ties before finally losing the Western Conference title in a play-off with Lombardi's Packers. So far this...
