...turnout by mailing sample ballots, with instructions on how to vote for her, to the district's 35,000 Negro homes. But she also stumped white neighborhoods, addressed white civic clubs, won the endorsement of the white-ruled Democratic organization. While her opponent, former State Representative J. C. Whitfield 44, resorted to plaintive racist appeals ("Can a white man win?") Miss Jordan drummed home the need for such reforms as state minimum-wage provisions, industrial-accident laws and lower auto-insurance rates...

A few independents, however, are still rich and ready enough for global competition with the major companies-and one of the richest and readiest is a stocky, straightforward Texan named John Whitfield Mecom. At 53, Mecom has amassed assets of between $400 million and $500 million, reaped largely from 30 years of roaming the world in search of oil.

It is lined with stainless steel, and along one wall the workbench faces a 4-ft. by 10-ft. bank of "absolute filters" that remove all particles above .3 microns from a slow stream of air. Most clean rooms use their filters simply to clean up incoming air. Whitfield's trick is to make the clean air from the filters keep the room clean. It flows at 1 m.p.h. (a very faint breeze) across the workbench and past the people working...
