Moderate Noises. A former state legislator and highway commissioner, Ward, 58, has suffered from a stodgy, standoffish campaign style. Realizing how close the race has become, he last week recalled Nunn's appeals to the backlash vote in the Republican primary and charged: "He's doing it again. He's running a disgraceful campaign. He would make a disgraceful Governor...
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.

Many Kentuckians are doing exactly that. So many, in fact, that Kentucky may well elect its first Republican Governor in 24 years.

To support his argument that the election has great national implications, Nunn has imported such Republican luminaries as Ronald Reagan, George...
Even that sally failed to stir much interest because Nunn for months has been making only moderate noises on racial questions. So negative has the contest become that unqualified partisans are difficult to find. One Kentucky Republican who has given Nunn tepid support complains: "They're either against Nunn because of something he said against Catholics or Jews in the primary, or they're against Ward because they don't like Breathitt or Johnson." The Louisville Courier-Journal endorsed Ward, but faulted him for me-tooing Nunn's positions opposing a state open-housing...
...tiny glints of sunlight which appear to ring the moon instants before the achievement of a total eclipse. The "beads" can only be observed near the edge of shadow of totality -- either slightly inside it or slightly beyond it -- and present tracking predictions indicate that the Baker-Nunn telescope will be favorably situated for photographing them...
