The Showdown
  Virginia's 1977 race for the governorship whirled toward a close last night in a locale as improbable as much of the campaign itself.At separate party rallies in the coal-minded Appalachian town of Clintwood (population 1,320), Democrat Henry Howell and Republican John Dalton exhorted the faithful just 10 miles from the Kentucky border and more than 400 from the crowded Northern Virginia suburbs on which Tuesday's election may depend.As television carried their...
