...would be sure to run again in 1976, and Mondale is not due to run until 1978. Anderson himself faces re-election next year. If he wins well, he could become a serious contender for Vice President on the '76 national ticket?with anyone, of course, except a fellow Minnesotan. Being young, Midwestern, Protestant and a Governor, he might elegantly complement a Ted Kennedy candidacy, although some might think it entirely too youthful a package. Or he might fit in well with a Muskie candidacy. Anderson insists, with a conviction he can afford at such an early age, that...
...accessibility of nature has much to do with the Minnesotans' sense of place and roots. More than almost any other Americans, they are outdoor people, and at least 50% of them customarily vacation within their own state. The seasons have their own sporting rhythms. On summer weekends, the traffic moves bumper-to-propeller out of the Twin Cities toward what has become a Minnesotan index of the good life?the "lake up north."

Next he called Ribicoff, who also demurred, preferring, at his age, 62, to remain in the Senate. Again McGovern tried, this time telephoning Wisconsin's Senator Gaylord Nelson; again he was rebuffed. Nelson said that he had promised his wife he would remain in the Senate. During yet another afternoon call, McGovern informed Kennedy that he was still serious about Kevin White, who had already told McGovern he was available. Delighted, the mayor made tentative arrangements...
...With only 5% of the data-processing market before picking up G.E.'s division, they say, Honeywell could never have reached that point. Now Honeywell has 8% or 10%. "We had to seek a dramatically larger share of the general market," explains Honeywell President Stephen Keating, an urbane Minnesotan and former FBI agent. "We knew that it would have been impossible to do it from within. That not only would have increased the risks in case of a mistake, but also would have imposed a severe financial load on our current business and would have depressed profits...
