...have it referred to Mansfield's Senate Rules Committee. But Vice President Lyndon Johnson, advised by the Senate parliamentarian, ruled that it had to go to Judiciary. The setback will be only temporary, Mansfield promised. If the Judiciary Committee does not act within 90 days, he will attach his proposal as an amendment to unrelated legislation...
...people believe that the motions of the planets have profound control over human affairs. So many people try to read the future from the stars that even the Vatican weekly, Osservatore della Domenica, was moved to warn that serious belief in astrology is a "grave sin."

In McMahon's view, most economists still attach undue importance to the role of durables in the U.S. economy; the U.S. auto industry, for example, employs only 2% of the labor force, and consumer durables now take only 13½? of each consumer dollar...
