After a chat at Romney's Bloomfield Hills residence, New Mexico Governor David Cargo reported unequivocally that Romney has already decided to run. "That is what he said," declared Cargo. At week's end Romney began a Western speaking tour covering six states from Alaska-where he got off to a good start by beating Governor Walter Hickel in a dogsled race-to Arizona. And in Washington, Leonard Hall, former Republican National Committee chairman, announced the formation of a national Romney-for-President Committee-with Romney's approval...

The wholesale roundup, ordered by Franklin D. Roosevelt, made a kind of simplistic military sense. After all, the Pacific Coast had been formally-if somewhat hysterically-declared a combat zone. The presence of aliens, all of whom were at least potentially sympathetic to the enemy, seemed to constitute a visible threat...
