Says Alaska Federation of Labor President Bob McFarland, 47 (home town, Republic, Wash.): "You find so many brilliant people here, people attracted by the sense of challenge that Hawaii, for example, could never supply.

Says Governor Mike Stepovich: "Only the people of little faith are against statehood...

...Critics find in the Sardinian bronzes a curious foreshadowing of works by such contemporaries as Henry Moore, Marino Marini. Georges Braque-and with good reason. One of the strongest moves in 20th century sculpture was to bypass classic Greek and Roman models to find inspiration in the earlier, cruder and fresher works of once scorned primitive art. The few Sardinian bronzes that are privately owned have brought offers of up to $16,000 for a single piece. An ardent admirer, Sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, praises their vitality, says, "They are almost as free as we are today." Sardinians consider them priceless...
