Responding to the complaints, the state in recent years has adopted ever-tougher curbs on the strippers. Most stringent of all was the order signed this month by outgoing Governor Edward T. Breathitt ten hours before turning over his office to incoming Republican Louie B. Nunn. The order forbids strip miners from working slopes steeper than 28°. Straight up in the air went the industry, thundering that it would be driven out of business, which was exactly what it said last year when the maximum slope was put at 33°. Since then, new operations have doubled...
...industry predictably asked Kentucky's courts to erase the new ruling, counted on at least moral support from Louie Nunn, whose gubernatorial campaign they had supported. They were in for a disappointment. Not only did Nunn go along with the order, but he also persuaded Ned Breathitt's director of reclamation, Elmore Grim, who had helped draw up the regulations, to stay on the job.

Kentucky: Nunn Better One of the few bright touches in Kentucky's humdrum gubernatorial race was provided by an irreverent underground slogan: "Half an Oaf Is Better than Nunn."

TIRED OF WAR? VOTE NUNN. The campaign posters do not explain how Republican Louie Nunn will settle the Viet Nam conflict from Frankfort if he is elected Kentucky's Governor next week. For that matter, neither candidate has been notably informative about the issues. Nunn seems to be running against Lyndon Johnson, retiring Governor Edward Breathitt, and assorted other Democrats. However, Henry Ward, the Democratic candidate, happens to agree with Nunn on most questions affecting the state. The race is so lacking in substance that Ward, conceding that he has "no grand sort of scheme," tells voters: "Whether...
