...personality makes for a winning team," says the 49ers' Ken Willard. "It's the swinging feeling around the clubhouse. A feeling that they're them and I'm me." His teammate Gene Washington, who grooves on $350 Oscar de la Renta suits, deplores the "archaic regimen" of traditional football-club rules. "Room checks at 11 p.m. on a Friday night before a Sunday game is Cub Scout stuff. I think professional players are above that. They will separate themselves from the team if they don't take care of themselves. They will be judged...
Typical Sangfroid, the board conveyed its misgivings to Seaborg. Under the A.A.A.S.'s archaic rules, it could not do anything more. Nor would Seaborg. He had already turned down an offer of the A.A.A.S. presidential candidacy twice before because of his other obligations, and did not care to bow out this time. In fact, the only casualty of the dispute was a bystander: Dan Greenberg, 38, the news editor of the A.A.A.S. publication Science, and one of the most astute observers of the U.S. scientific establishment.

Still unsatisfied, the chief labor spokesman, Charles Leslie Dennis, president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks, called off the walkout only after a federal court ordered his union to pay $200,000 for every day it struck beyond the first 24 hours...
...Senate colleagues not long ago. "And we are changing with them. Omnia mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." Right on, Senator Scott! Congress may be changing, but at what a pace. About as often as the planet Pluto swings around the sun, Congress does indeed bestir itself, examines the archaic rules by which it conducts the nation's business and gently blows away some of the accumulated dust of more than 180 years. But never enough to disturb one tradition -the hallowed rule of seniority-that has often prevented Congress, whether liberal or conservative, Democratic or Republican, from working...
