...often of more value to law firms, their outside income is often higher than that of House members. Senator Hubert Humphrey, .for example, earned $81,000 in speaking engagements in one year, George McGovern $80,000. (Humphrey has never been secretive about such benefits; a sign in his Waverly, Minn., home proclaims: THE HOUSE THAT WIND BUILT.) Yet the limitation is expected to pass. Explaining the prevailing sentiment, one supporter of the code said: "People who come to the Senate rich can't be made poor. But people who come to the Senate poor shouldn't leave rich...
...owners, estimates that the energy bill for a dome home ranges between one-third and one-half of that for a conventional house with the same floor space. John and Martha Evensta, a physician and his wife who have a five-room, $40,000 dome in Grand Rapids, Minn., say that their highest monthly electricity bill, in subzero January, came to $91-which included not only heating but also power for all their household appliances. The Evenstas' house is mainly heated by a wood-burning furnace backed up by a heat pump, plus a fireplace. Norm and Sirleen Ghigleri...
Like grizzled combat veterans, the survivors of the first day's run clustered last week at the bar in an Alexandria, Minn., lodge. Belting down tumblers of Jim Beam and Pabst, they compared horror stories: a burnt-out piston, a broken ski, a torn suspension, a collision with a tree.

Some hobbled, others seemed permanently hunched from their battle. The weary combatants had just completed the opening day of one of sport...
...Limit. On the fourth morning, as the 82 remaining racers waited at Thief River Falls, Minn., to begin the final 148-mile sprint to Winnipeg, a wave of fierce Arctic air-accompanied by a blizzard-swept in. Temperatures plummeted to -16°, and the 30 m.p.h.-wind blew the snow horizontally across the frigid landscape. Even snowmobilers have their limit. Officials called off the race and awarded first-prize money ($10,500) to the contestant with the best time for three days (9:39:43), 19-year-old Archie Simonson of Grand Forks, N. Dak. Simonson has already earmarked...
Surprisingly, Byrd received strong support in his campaign for the post not only from conservative Southern Democrats, but from liberals who might more naturally have been expected to support Byrd's challenger, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.). In fact, so widespread was the liberal defection to Byrd that Humphrey, recognizing he had no chance of winning, withdrew. Two days later, however, Humphrey received a consolation prize--he was made deputy president pro tem of the Senate, garnering a $7500 pay increase, a limousine, a larger office, and no new formal responsibilities...
