Reno's opponent from that 1972 race says he considers himself a fan. "With Janet, what you see is what you get," says the 71-year-old Malloy, who went on to serve six years in the legislature. A patent and trademark attorney, Malloy says he has been receiving calls in recent weeks from various reporters who want to talk about that race. "I have no dirt to tell anyone," he says. "It was a very clean, fair race. We both concentrated on the issues."

Malloy says he has spoken to Reno a few times over the years. "She would be a very good governor," he allows. "I'd consider voting for her myself, depending on the issues."
