...states he needs in November 1972 is Ohio; no Republican President has ever been elected without carrying it. Hardly a secret to the G.O.P.. that axiom of American politics weighs most painfully at present in the mind of a Democrat. Ohio's red-haired Governor, John J. Gilligan. He faces a tough dilemma. Before he can hope to mount an effective campaign against a Republican presidential drive in his own state, he must make a crucial decision about which-if any-of the Democratic presidential hopefuls he will actively support...

The state-delegate filing law has the practical effect of forcing him, by Feb. 2, to declare support for one of the Democratic candidates or to remain uncommitted by asserting his own candidacy as a favorite son.

It would also divert some of Muskie's energies from the similarly critical primaries of Oregon and California...
...from the borrower's income when his earning power is lowest. Because PAYE is geared to long-term income, the plan should keep a number of students out of legal trouble. So far 122 colleges have requested details on how the Yale approach is proceeding. Ohio Governor John Gilligan has proposed that students at the state's public colleges repay the state for their education in similar fashion...
