Gov. Paul Laxalt said he would retire from public life rather than run for the U.S. Senate. The move alters Nixon and GOP plans to seize the Senate after the 1970 elections, with Democrats seen gaining leverage if a strong Republican retires. Former Gov. Grant Sawyer and Clark County District Attorney George Franklin commented, noting the decision shifts dynamics but reflects Laxalt’s strenuous workload and desire for private life.
