Dixon weighs consensus politics as House battles loom
Illinois Treasurer Alan Dixon cautions against dominance as he moves toward secretary of state duties. He favors a caucus led, consensus style to elect a speaker if roll calls mount, and signals willingness to shape party strategy against Gov. James R. Thompson as the 1978 governor bid looms. He notes his pact with Thompson to appoint Don Smith over a Democrat and says the office choice stands despite Democratic discontent.

Sinatra Sahl feud nears end amid court filings
Attorney Ron Rouda says the Sinatra Sahl feud moves toward resolution as he seeks dismissal of Sinatra's suit over a $20 000 promissory note. The filing cites Sinatra's absence from a court deposition. The note, signed in 1964 by Mort Sahl for a recording for Sinatra's company, followed a 1957 partial repayment of 10 000 and a 1974 suit for the remaining balance.
