In a preseason shakeup, the Warrior front office had traded Center Nate Thurmond to Chicago, sent Rebounder Clyde Lee to Atlanta, and lost Cazzie Russell to Los Angeles after the streak-shooting forward had played out his option. The team's only returning star was Rick Barry, basketball's soldier of fortune who had played for three teams in two leagues in the past nine years...

He has spoken with emissaries of both, but in a state where the Senate's Strom Thurmond is the only consistent Republican winner, most political observers doubt that Westmoreland will choose the G.O.P.
