...since "GoGo" Kirk, 41, took office, hardly a day has passed without Page One pictures and stories about him in Florida's press. Whether wooing and marrying German-born Beauty Erika Mattfeld, 33, running his 37-foot sloop aground in mirror-calm seas off Miami, or facing down Rap Brown at a Black Power rally in Jacksonville, the fleshily handsome Governor has always been ready with a colorful quote or bizarre gesture to enhance his swinging image. His travels out of state in a private Lear jet have averaged 10,000 miles a month. The Governor claims that...
...procession of hot summers, a raging Negro separatist movement-and perhaps in the end a costly showdown between black and white that might send U.S. race relations all the way back to the post-Reconstruction period. The new movement quickly developed its list of fanatical leaders: Stokeley Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, Ron Karenga and, in his special way, Cassius Clay.

He was a Democrat in a town that had not elected a Republican mayor in the past 26 years. And his opponent was Seth Taft, 44, who bore the multiple burdens of a stiff presence, the wrong party label plus nephewship to the "Mr. Republican" who co-authored the Taft-Hartley Act, longtime anathema to organized labor...
...well knew that what he was doing was wrong. There were also four notes Smith had written to a fellow inmate while awaiting trial. "My attorney is making everyone think that I'm completely insane," said part of one, and in another he wrote that to beat the rap, "I'm trying for that hospital." Though defense experts testified that it was not unusual for an insane man to think he was not, the jury took less than two hours to bring in the guilty verdict...
