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...
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...
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...
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...
