...Mexico Governor David Cargo reported unequivocally that Romney has already decided to run. "That is what he said," declared Cargo. At week's end Romney began a Western speaking tour covering six states from Alaska-where he got off to a good start by beating Governor Walter Hickel in a dogsled race-to Arizona. And in Washington, Leonard Hall, former Republican National Committee chairman, announced the formation of a national Romney-for-President Committee-with Romney's approval...
...most ambitious of all gubernatorial pipedreams was put forward by Walter Hickel, Alaska's first Republican Governor (its second Governor since statehood), who envisioned a new railroad that would stretch 500 miles across the state's high plateau from Fairbanks to Nome. The line would connect with the 470-mile line, known affectionately as the "Moose Gooser," currently running from Seward to Fairbanks.
