...Byrd family has long dominated Virginian politics, as either the current Senator or his father has held some statewide office during each of the last 50 years. Although the Democrats have a strong candidate in Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, former Chief of Naval Operations, Byrd's chances to perpetuate the family tradition are excellent...
...general, Carter has not revealed his position on oil monopolies and the need for a national energy corporation. Nor has he really addressed the problem of deregulation of natural gas prices, for the same reason. His other deplorably weak stand is on national defense, where clowns like Admiral Elmo Zumwalt have way too much influence with him.

The last resident, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, declared the house "a fire hazard," worried over the faulty electrical wiring, and complained that the roof and walls leaked. To make the place more livable, Congress has appropriated $485,000 for renovations, including installation of central air conditioning and a new heating system...
