The Anchorage Times editorialized in praise of his foresight, his book about his frustrated struggles within the Nixon Administration (Who Owns America?) found a clutch of new readers, and Hickel began to be the most sought-after Republican speaker in the state. His new status is so solid that many of Alaska's southeastern business men are urging him to run for Governor, and oil interests have already pledged their support if he decides to run for the Senate.
