...late next September, the soft, white flowers will once more bloom in the valleys and flatlands of Turkey's Anatolian heartland. For the region's farmers, the harvest of poppies will mean a return to a treasured crop that yields such vital uses as morphine, fuel, cooking oil and animal feed. But angered...
...Newspaper editors and publishers in the Republican heartland studied the transcripts with sinking hearts and mounting dismay. One after another, they reversed then-previous positions and wrote, in sorrow and in anger, editorials calling for Nixon's resignation or impeachment. In a column published by all of the Hearst newspapers, Editor in Chief William Randolph Hearst Jr. said that the President "seems to have a moral blind spot."

Both are sober, churchgoing, solid citizens- well tailored for an industrious, no-nonsense community in America's heartland. Republican VanderLaan, 43, had won six elections to the state senate, where he is majority leader. Democrat VanderVeen, 52, a lawyer, noted that he "comes from a long line of Democrats who have lost." He had been elected to the suburban East Grand Rapids school board in 1969, but he lost by a landslide the only big race he ever entered - to Congressman...
