Laxalt weighs Senate bid or retirement amid Nevada retreat
Senator Paul Laxalt, 63, eyed retirement or a third Senate term after consulting advisers and family at his 120 acre ranch near Lake Tahoe. He weighed a possible run backed by strong public approval and a future role for Reagan, while noting concerns over maintaining Republican Senate control and the lure of consulting wealth. He planned to decide and announce Monday after meetings with Reagan and family.
