...happy to see that the American people are finally awakening to the benefits and joys of running [June 6]. I am a long-distance runner, and I intend to run forever...
Miller, who ousted the corrupt regime of W.A. ("Tony") Boyle five years ago, appealed for unity. Said Miller: "It's time for [his opponents] to recognize who the enemies are-the operators." But Runner-Up Patterson, a onetime Boyle crony, criticized the way that the ballot was set up; his supporters had to mark nine different boxes to vote for his candidates, while Miller's backers could select the entire presidential slate by checking only one box.

An American track-meet promoter, anxious...
...oust the corrupt regime of W.A. ("Tony") Boyle five years ago; Patrick is now U.M.W. secretary-treasurer. The longtime Miller opponent is Lee Roy Patterson, 42, a onetime crony of Boyle's and a member of the union's executive board. Miller appears to be the front runner; Patterson, benefiting from a split in the reform vote between Miller and Patrick, seems to be second and gaining...
