...wealth. There is so much of Alaska for so few Alaskans that they have never seemed to care very much whether some of the state's 586,400 sq. mi. are despoiled in the rush to unlock its treasure chest of oil, metals, timber and fish. In that respect, Hickel, who had acquired more than $14 million in housing, hotels and natural-gas holdings before his election in 1966, is not notably different in outlook from most of his fellow Alaskans...

Compliance with the law of the land, honest service to the nation, and respect for the orderly processes of government are not viewed as debilitating. There is nothing insidious or evil about the ROTC program. Very few college educated men are known to have finished their experience as ROTC cadet and officer-leader without a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. The few dissidents found among the college educated men who do fulfill their...
