...world of heavy construction, no one thinks bigger than a country boy from Alabama named Winton ("Red") Blount. Just after World War II, he was building fishponds in the rural South.

...term as Governor this week, and he is considered a shoo-in. Only one serious Democratic candidate has filed against him for the primary this spring; no Republican has yet declared. "Anyone would have to be a nut to run against Wallace this year," concedes former U.S. Postmaster General Winton M. Blount, who was considered to be the most likely G.O.P. candidate.
