Though they have the support of much of the media, anti-gun forces have not yet mobilized a comparable mass of public support. So Congress--especially representatives from the South and West, where guns abound--listens to the NRA. For three years, the Administration bill kicked around in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Only last week, after the assassination of The Rev. Martin Luther King, was a weakened version of the bill reported out. The weakened version--halfway between the NRA-supported bill and the Administration bill--would ban mail order sales of pistols, but would place no controls over...
Camelot Commandos. Other trappings of the campaign also evoke 1960. Kennedy siblings and offspring, those born to the clan or sworn to its ser vice, abound on the trail and in the back rooms.

Then she avows, with straight face: "I believe in China's violent revolution, but I couldn't kick a nun." Sick jokes abound: "Saigon is the only city in the world where garbage stands on street corners and they burn people." And symbolism: one scene shows the cast floundering in the mud of the Thames estuary-supposedly signifying the U.S. bogged down in Viet...
