And the answer is yes." But she is normally good-humored, especially during the occasional evenings of ballroom dancing and other social affairs that she loves. Though she has never married, a regular on the party circuit says that "she has gone out with lots of fellows." Other evenings, including many Thanksgivings and Christmases...
...Angeles, Bureau Chief Richard Duncan assigned reporters to sound the public's temper throughout the Western states. In addition, Duncan conducted interviews himself, questioning among others a cattleman, a small-town banker, a former Nixon Administration official and Duncan's own daughter-about the sentiments of her eighth-grade history class...
