...House 290 to 130. On March 26, the Senate voted to take up the bill, has been debating it steadily since March 30. During the last three weeks, Dirksen, who insisted on 50-odd amendments in return for precious G.O.P. votes in invoking cloture against the Southern filibuster (see box), was "beating out the iron upon the anvil of discussion" in conferences with other Republicans, Minnesota's Democratic Senator Hubert Humphrey, and Attorney General Robert Kennedy.

...desk years ago to sweeten up dull debates. "I would give Wayne Morse some. Then Alan Bible would look over and say, 'What are you doing?' and he'd come around. Gaylord Nelson is the smartest.

Other journals-Catholic, Protestant and secular-hurried to the defense of De Nieuwe Linie, and a number of Dutch Jesuits have openly protested Father Janssens' blunt handling of the case. Two of the Jesuits have ignored the order, still show up for work...
Such small signs of defiance have kept Archbishop Beltrami and his predecessor extremely busy writing to their superiors in recent years, and hardly a month goes by that some Dutch theologian does not receive a monitum (warning) from the Holy Office. "We call it a box on the ear," says...
