Some while back, I was looking up newspapers from January 1975.  I didn't find anything related to the topic I was originally searching for.  Two things did catch my attention, though.  One was the bevy of stories surrounding Don Sheldon's death.  The other was the quote from Chancy Croft about how Alaskans should expect the first state of the state address delivered in iambic pentameter.

Prevailing wisdom is that third-party candidates only take votes away from Republicans.  From numerous discussions with old-timers, there has been nearly unanimous agreement that Joe Vogler took votes away from Egan, not Hammond.
