...other nations of the world. When the bill goes to a Senate-House conference shortly, the restriction is expected to remain. In addition, an estimated 60,000 parents, children or spouses of U.S. citizens will be admitted each year regardless of nationality. Though the bill will increase annual immigration to 350,000 a year, some 60,000 above current levels, it inspired only halfhearted resistance; all 18 nays came from Southerners, mostly Democrats...
Compared with the 19th century poor so bitingly described in literature-Zola's Gervaise "was quite willing to dispute with a dog for a bone"-the American poor are well off. They would be considered rich by most Red Chinese, whose per capita annual income averages $70. In southern Italy and Sicily, thousands of nullatenenti (havenots) live in caves or open trenches. Poverty is too soft a word to describe the puffed stomachs that are common sights in India, Africa and Brazil's northeast.

Onassis' control of such a large block of stock, argued the lawyer, is illegal under the company's charter, which limits individual shareholders to 10,000 apiece. Onassis nominally complies with this by holding most of his stock in the names of 48 Panamanian shipping companies, but Rainier...
...poverty bills to civil rights legislation. As for the farm bill, the Star found something to cheer about in the fact that while it was not very good, it was written to take care of the next four years- promise of a welcome breather from an annual congressional hassle. More vehemently, the paper 3 deplores the splintering of the Republican Party by right-wing extremists. At home in Missouri, while it did not support Governor Warren Hearnes in his campaign, it has applauded his accomplishments and his growth as a leader...
