What with Burgess and Maclean, Gordon Lonsdale and George Blake, Klaus Fuchs and Alan Nunn May, Britain's postwar years have often seemed to be a nonstop series of spy scandals. None of them ever produced the fascination and national soul-searching, however, that have marked the case of Harold ("Kim") Philby, the Communist double agent who became chief of British counterespionage operations against Russia. After four months of coverage by the British press, Philby's remarkable exploits are now the subject of a debate about the nature and value of the British Establishment, the traditional ruling class...
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. When a restraining order against carrying out the regulations was knocked down in court, Grim pledged strict enforcement...
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." Republican Candidate Louie B. Nunn, 43, a back-country lawyer who in years past managed the successful senatorial campaigns of John Sherman Cooper and Thruston Morton, countered with his own vaguely punny slogan: "Tired of War? Vote Nunn." Kentuckians chose Nunn. Defeating Democrat Henry Ward, 58, a former highway commissioner handpicked by retiring Governor Edward Breathitt, Nunn became the first Republican Governor elected in Kentucky since...
...long-entrenched Democrats suffered from tired blood and intramural peevishness, and Candidate Ward campaigned on a broken record of me-tooism, echoing Nunn's opposition to a statewide open-housing law and new taxes. Neither contender openly courted Kentucky's segregationists, but both gleaned more votes from that quarter than Conservative Candidate Christian Glanz Jr., who was seeking 2% of the total vote in order to qualify his party for the 1968 presidential ballot and thereby qualify Alabama's George Wallace for a third-party spot. Nunn received 449,788 votes, Ward 423,189-and Glanz...
