...gone home from a Chicago convention without some choice memento locked in his suitcase of memories. For one middle-aged Texas oilman recently, it was the long, goose-pimpled wait for a rendezvous with a $50 floozy in a plum-colored parlor; for a life-insurance salesman from New Jersey, it was a harmless evening in an elegant and naughty North-Side Key Club; for a mackinawed Dakota farmer back in 1906, it was a dinner at the old Saratoga Hotel, where after ordering a fancy city dish called oysters on the half shell, he devoured the oysters and then...

Plodding, unspectacular Donald Nutter, 44, seems to be a typical G.O.P. statehouse product. A war hero (B24 piloting in the China theater) turned small-town tractor salesman, stocky, cigar-smoking Don Nutter served two workhorse terms in the state senate, in the process developed from a cautious reactionary to a conscientious, business-minded liberal with a host of friends and supporters throughout the state...
