...years of intermittent work (interrupted by necessity of investigating unsavory charges against Dodd and Missouri Democrat Edward V. Long), the Senate code, drawn up under the auspices of Mississippi's John Stennis, had at least one easily discernible merit: it was much more sin ewy than a bare-bones code dropped almost casually into the House of Representatives' hopper a day earlier...
...Bare Skeletons. In the continental U.S., the Army last week had 800,000 ground troops, the Marines 180,000. Only about 125,000 of the total are combat ready and capable of being deployed within or without the country on short notices for crisis duty.

...recurrence of police brutality on Southern campuses in the past two years, while laying bare police intimidation, has at the same time catalyzed increased political activity. These students recognize clearly enough that the college campus no longer enjoys a privileged status in the eyes of the Southern police force. So that now the black college student need go no further than his own campus to realize that his plight is the same as any other Negro's suffering at the hands of the Southern police establishment...
