...year ago, it looked as if there would be no real race. Mark Odom Hatfield, 44, the trim, Hollywood-handsome Republican Governor, seemed assured of election to the U.S. Sen ate seat of retiring Democrat Maurine Neuberger. Hatfield has eight solidly progressive years behind him in the Salem stalehouse, is well known and well liked throughout the state, and is one of the G.O.P.'s most talked about prospects for national office.

...hired women as butchers to supplement its draft-depleted supply of manpower. Pittsburgh copper fabricators have had so much of their output pre-empted by the Pentagon that they cannot meet civilian demand for plumbing equipment. Appliance manufacturers, hoping that buyers will not notice the difference, have begun to trim a few inches off their electrical cords. Shoemakers have cut back production of cowboy boots to devote full time to combat boots. These are just a few of the many stresses, strains and changes that have been caused-or aggravated-by the Viet...
