...King of Kings. Elect of God. Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and 255th reigning monarch of Ethiopia. Haile Selassie I, is a lonely man. At 74, he has outlived his wife, who died in 1962, and four of his six children.

Both the U.S. and the Georgia Supreme Courts upheld Georgia's peculiar law allowing the state legislature to elect the Governor if the voters failed to give any candidate more than 50% of the vote; there had been little question what the body would do. With a Democratic majority of 231 to 28 in the legislature's two houses, the legislators voted 182 to 66 to seat Democrat Maddox...
