...past eight years, appears to be pulling away. A gangly (6 ft. 3 in.), ambitious politician who attended Princeton, Yale Law School and Yale Divinity School, Danforth has since 1968 helped to spur a brilliant Republican resurgence in the state which put into office in 1973 the current Governor, Kit Bond, the first Republican to hold that office in Missouri in 30 years. Attorney General Danforth has a deserved "Mr. Clean" image (TIME selected him in 1974 as one of the country's 200 rising young leaders). He twice took to court his own family business, Ralston Purina...
...corruption. Yet at the height of the Viet Nam War, the U.S. shipped squadrons of bombers and some 50,000 troops to this California-size land, making it a fortress of American power. As the war in neighboring Indochina began to wind down, riotous Bangkok students overthrew Dictator Thanom Kit-tikachorn in 1973 and ushered in a neutralist government that requested U.S. withdrawal.

One tactic will be to claim that a particular sentence...

Betty Ford urged more than token consideration for Anne Armstrong; Son Jack liked a mayor, Pete Wilson of San Diego, and two Governors, Christopher ("Kit") Bond of Missouri and Dan Evans of Washington. Henry Kissinger promoted a lame-duck incumbent, his former mentor Nelson Rockefeller. Of the Cabinet members, only Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz recommended Dole highly?because of the Kansan's popularity in the farm belt...
CHRISTOPHER ("KIT") BOND, 37, popular Governor of Missouri, who would bring to the ticket a fresh face, unscarred by scandal-and not identified with Washington. Bond has trimmed Missouri's 87 state agencies to 14. Wealthy, self-assured, he has successfully fought against graft, and is so middle-of-the-road that both Reagan and Rockefeller have campaigned for him. Liabilities: limited experience and the fact that his elevation to the ticket could cost the G.O.P. the governorship...
