NATION, Page 19A Jolt for Richards
Despite a well-publicized bout with alcoholism ten years
ago, Texas State Treasurer Ann Richards had become a rising
star among Democrats. Until several days ago, she was a front
runner in this week's Democratic primary. Then Richards'
campaign was jolted by her refusal to answer questions on
whether she has ever used illegal drugs. Replying, she
contended, could discourage other addicts from seeking help. Her
Democratic opponents, former Governor Mark White and Attorney
General Jim Mattox, were quick to attack Richards for her
evasiveness. If she becomes the nominee, she can expect a far
tougher going-over from the Republicans.
