...Most controversial of his measures (and certain to run into heavy congressional opposition) was his demand for laws "resting on the fullest constitutional authority of the Federal Government" to prohibit discrimination in housing sales or rentals. Although Johnson spelled out no details, his proposal is much broader than the presidential executive order signed by John Kennedy in 1962, which outlawed discrimination in housing financed by the Federal Housing Authority or the Veterans Administration. It would likely be based on the U.S. Constitution's interstate commerce clause and could easily cover the vast majority of the nation's banks...
Growth Spurts. In 1938, at the start of the wonder-drug era, FDA was given broader powers after a sloppy preparation of sulfanilamide killed 107 people.

Even more incredible to yesteryear's warriors is the official aura of sobersided respectability that Johnson has tried valiantly to imbue...
Coca-Cola has broader hopes for the partnership than immediate profit. It is anxious to get beyond the tourists, create a market among Bulgarians themselves. Depending on how well sales go in ten-ounce bottles, Coke may move on to other sizes and containers, perhaps to fountain sales. Meanwhile, if the Bulgarian experiment works, there are the Czechs, Yugoslavians and Rumanians, all of whom may yet go better with Coke...
