...offset Jay Rockefeller's name, fame and wealth-his $1.5 million campaign fund is largely family money-Incumbent Republican Arch A. Moore Jr., 49 (who has a substantial fund himself), is getting personal appearance plugs from six G.O.P. Governors (excluding Nelson), Vice President Agnew and President Nixon. In addition, twelve Illinois Republican Congressmen recently visited West Virginia to diminish the Percy charisma...
...democracy, as practiced in the U.S., is fast becoming a millionaire's game. Certainly H. John Heinz III, great-grandson of the founder of H.J. Heinz Co., would not be Pennsylvania's Congressman from the 18th District today were he not the inheritor of 57 varieties of fame and revenue.

...former Quaker mentors John Stiegman and Bob Odell. Alas, he was growing tired of this four years and a cloud pink slips garbage, so he headed off to Lafayette College. This time he lasted with his new team, the Leopards, only two years. But it was here where his fame started to germinate.

The lone victory was achieved on a sudden-death field goal in an exhibition game against a combined unit from Clayton and Audobon...

"We didn't know what we were doing then," Cody explained. The lifeless vocals and empty back-up effectively imitated the atmosphere of country music...
Both Goren and Yosef enjoy wide popularity, partly because they are both more Israeli in outlook than their predecessors. Goren won some of his fame as a flamboyant warrior rabbi who doggedly earned his paratroop wings after breaking his leg in his first jump. During the Six-Day War, he made a point of trying to be first wherever he went -to the Wailing Wall, for instance, where he sounded the shofar (the traditional ram's horn). He is also admired as an astute scholar and consummate finder of Halakhah loopholes that more easily accommodate Orthodox observance...
