Name Calling. Bradley's campaign style mirrors his own personality-low-key and detached. In the belief that Yorty is doing a good job of talking himself out of a third term, he has chosen for the most part not to be drawn into a name-calling contest.

A 5¼ inch nickel Mini-David (one of 9,500) sells for $75 and is a perfectly duplicated cast of the original 11½ inch David, which sells for $6,000. With his plans for a mini-multiple priced as low as $10 by 1970, he will bring a Berrocal within the reach of nearly anyone-or at least, anyone who wants to reach...
