However they vote for Governor Nov. 8, Florida's electorate will opt for a new political climate in their state. The choice is between Robert King High, 42, a liberal, city-oriented Democrat, and Claude Kirk, 40, a conservative upstate Republican. Neither description fits any chief executive of Florida since Reconstruction. And for the first time since 1876, a Republican has a fair chance of winning...

They do, although his location also makes him a natural for more fashionable members of the movie colony, such as Rosalind Russell, Arlene Dahl, Mrs. Robert Stack and Mrs. Kirk Douglas.
