...Marine veteran of Iwo Jima who does not drink, smoke or swear, he delighted the backwoods by scorning a "monkey suit" at his inauguration. As Oklahoma's first G.O.P. Governor, Bellmon proved so popular that in 1966 he was able to pull in a Republican successor, Governor Dewey Bartlett, a Princeton-educated, Roman Catholic Tulsan in a traditionally rural-oriented, Protestant state. Democratic hegemony has been shattered, and now Bellmon is after Monroney's Senate seat...
...sanguine. Already well into his third term, he will undoubtedly think twice before seeking an unprecedented fourth in 1970. A Senate seat is even less likely. One New York Senate seat will be voted on this fall, while for the other, Rockefeller will soon appoint a successor to the late Robert Kennedy.

In 1957, joining the 17 other prominent West German scientists in the Göttingen Manifesto, he vowed never to take part in nuclear research for military purposes...
...three decades, Luis Muñoz Marin and his Popular Democratic Party presided over Puerto Rico's transformation from an impoverished Caribbean stepchild of the U.S. to a commonwealth of increasingly robust economic health. Then, in 1965, Muñoz's hand-picked successor, Roberto Sánchez Vilella, took over. Muñoz, who went into semiretirement as a senator, continued to maintain a jealous watch over the aging party that he had founded. Increasingly irked by his successor's independent ways, he and a coalition of P.D.P. leaders last week denied Sáchez nomination...
