Mark Odom Hatfield is a lay preacher of the fundamentalist Baptist Church, a teetotaling former university dean (Willamette) who gave up smoking because he did not want to lead his students into temptation. Hatfield has since adopted a habit that is a lot harder to forsake: running for public office. At 43, he has won five consecutive contests for assorted posts as a Republican in normally Democratic Oregon, is just finishing off his second four-year term as Governor.

Barely Enough. To win a foothold in the $200 million market for cleanup equipment, scores of big and little firms are busy devising new kinds of filters, precipitators, sprayers and sensitive measuring apparatus. Last week in Corvallis, Ore., Governor Mark Hatfield dedicated a new office and research center for the five-year-old MicroFLOC Corp., whose high-rate water-filtration system is one of the world's most advanced, has been bought by 50 communities and industries. General Electric has developed a gas and vapor measurer and a condensation nuclei counter that counts dirt particles...
