Ball point pen on todays newsprint

Alaska voters embraced the Yin and Yang of Walter J. Hickel by twice electing him Governor. An advocate for big oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and an ardent environmentalist, a member of the Nixon administration and against it’s handling of the Vietnam war, a member of the party of Lincoln and a secessionist. He died Friday of natural causes. He was 90 years old.
