The Dem's really screwed the pooch in 1972-3 when N Begich and H Boggs disappeared.  Remember Young lost the election without Begich being around.  If Begich hadn't been killed or in this case, lost forever, Young would of never been our Representative.  We lost a great Rep, and got stuck with Young afterwards.  Hennsley was not the person to run against Young, so we have ended up with this JOKE of a Representative.  JMO, of course.
