...hottest current issue is how to handle Alaska's North Slope oil. Washington's four major refineries are located on the eastern shore of Puget Sound at Cherry Point, 100 miles north of Seattle and 75 miles inland from the sea.

...victory, though, did not result solely from any outpouring of citywide support. A downpour maximized the relative strength of his extremely competent organization that was receiving a critical amount of support from Mayor Kevin H. White's organization.
