...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.

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. With his limitless fortune, Rockefeller is not dependent on the normal political bases, however. He could thus retire in 1970 and still, at 64, go after the presidential nomination in 1972, assuming, of course, that he would be opposing President Humphrey and not President Nixon. Though...

Once back in Germany, Hahn struggled to rebuild the shattered remains of his old institute as president of its successor, the Max Planck Society. He also became an outspoken foe of atomic weapons.

...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...
