...admitted political neophyte, was a surprise winner of last September's Democratic primary. Ray, a small, chunky woman who lives with two dogs in a pre-fab home on an island, waged an energetic, 18-hour-a-day campaign on a skimpy budget to defeat the less colorful, pipe-smoking Spellman. As Governor, Ray is expected to pursue a generally conservative course, trimming the state budget and considering an income tax to replace other levies if the need arises. Predictably, she favors development of nuclear energy and revising upward the limits on the size of oil tankers on Puget...
Dressed for the part, Ivor Richard, 44, Britain's Ambassador to the United Nations and currently chairman of the Rhodesian conference in Geneva, would make a splendidly old-fashioned John Bull. Burly, ebullient and pipe smoking, the bespectacled barrister is anything but timid-the description Nationalist Leader Joshua Nkomo applied to the British role in the negotiations.

There he settled into an easy chair, lit his pipe and talked. Excerpts from the interview...
...finish a critical half-mile link in the pipeline before the long Alaska winter sets in. Working through the rapidly shortening arctic autumn days and, under portable arc lamps, far into the lengthening night, the men slogged through ankle-deep mud to set the last 40-ft. lengths of pipe in place. It was slow, hazardous work, hampered by howling winds, rock slides and blowing snow. Drawled one grizzled pipeliner, "This here Thompson Pass, she's a frozen hell...
