From the start, Jarvis was a dedicated right-winger. He and his father once campaigned for separate seats in the Utah state legislature, Judge John Ransome Jarvis running as a Democrat, his son as a Republican. Howard managed his father's winning campaign as well as his own unsuccessful one. At a 1931 G.O.P. convention in Chicago, he shared a suite at a crowded hotel with a California district attorney named Earl Warren...

Trouble between father and son is not new. Back in 1972 Herbert yanked Garner Ted off the tube and sent him into exile. Insiders later reported that the son was guilty of adultery.

Herbert figured the move was illadvised, rescinded the plan and sacked his son. But Herbert has nearly destroyed the school in order to save it. First he decided to close it completely, but now it will shift from a four-year course to various shorter training programs. The full-time student body is being slashed from 1,120 to 250, the faculty from 177 to 25. Long-sought liberal arts accreditation...
