...effort to check the story. Look, however, released a statement saying that many man-hours were spent checking and re-checking the piece. While some foresaw Alioto's political doom, others predicted his victory in court and a huge sympathy vote if he runs against Ronald Reagan for Governor in 1970. The only certainty in the affair, wrote Columnist Herb Caen, is that "Look's Annual All-American City Award will not go to San Francisco this year...
...Alaska will never be the same again," Governor Keith Miller declared jubilantly after last week's bidding for oil-drilling rights enriched his state's coffers by $900 million (see BUSINESS). Conservationists, for reasons of their own, fear that he may be right. In their understandable haste to obtain geological data before the bidding began, some of the oil companies scarred the tundra with seismic ditches that look from above like giant graffiti and littered it with garbage and empty barrels. Once full-scale exploitation of oil begins, the effects on the North Slope could become disastrous...
...saga of honor and bloody revenge that is almost Sicilian in tone. In its entirety, the play runs to eleven acts and two days, but only the first four acts are being performed by the Grand Kabuki during its current U.S. tour. The story is transparently simple.

Between the time that oilmen presented their bids before 8 a.m. and the first results were announced at 10:28 a.m., Miller had a captive audience that any politician might envy. The Governor made the most of his opportunity, leading the oil executives through the Alaska Flag Song, introducing fellow Alaska politicians and screening a color film on the state. The audience was then treated by self...
...bridge to Siberia, distributing the cash equally among the citizenry, and building a much-discussed new state capitol beside the Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau. More soberly, the Legislative Council has commissioned The Brookings Institution to recommend how best to invest the interest that the money will earn, and Governor Miller has asked the Stanford Research Institute to undertake a similar study. Beyond that, Alaska has another 800,000 acres to put up for bids whenever it wishes, and will collect 90% of the royalties from any oil produced on federal land within the state...
