...Money Is Bipartisan. In an age when TV advertising eats up one-third or more of campaign budgets, politicians feel a need for the professional touch in creating and placing ads. The agencies do everything from decorating platforms to turning out "victory kits" for local workers. Using their good contacts, they also dicker to get their clients' commercials wrapped around the most popular shows. Some agencies do chores that candidates themselves dare not do, such as soliciting editorial support at the very same time that they buy ad space from the publishers of hand-to-mouth ethnic papers...
...recalls Dirksen, his amendment package was "in pretty tangible shape." At Dirksen's suggestion, Humphrey arranged for a bipartisan meeting between Senate and Administration leaders. The place: Dirksen's leadership office with the tinkling chandelier that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson.

Herewith, what the civil rights bill, including the Dirksen amendments...
...city's antipathy to outsiders dates back to Roman times, when a legion garrisoned in "Bonna" was decimated by the warlike Batavi. Today local resentment manifests itself in Bonn's constant fight to keep the government from taking over existing buildings or precious real estate. Recently, with bipartisan backing, Bundestag President Eugen Gerstenmaier disclosed plans for a new parliamentary center on the Rhine, consisting of a 25-story office building for Deputies, a twelve-story hotel and an 18-story press center, as well as a series of bridges across the railroad tracks. Bonn's burghers protested...
