...expected to begin this week. Both sides are careening toward it on a collision course. A head count by Republican leaders last week showed 54 Senators planning to vote against Haynsworth or leaning that way. Only 36 backed the taciturn South Carolinian. Ten remained undecided. To Nixon's chagrin, the opposition included 18 Republicans, among them Minority Leader Hugh Scott, Assistant Leader Robert Griffin and Caucus Chairman Margaret Chase Smith. Haynsworth's chances received a severe blow when Senator Jack Miller of Iowa announced his opposition. It was the first break in conservative G.O.P. ranks...

Harry Emerson Fosdick's 1922 sermon entitled "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?" flayed oldtime religionists for intolerance and became a rallying cry in U.S. Protestantism's biggest battle.

They handed their weapons to a comrade and strolled across the border to chat amicably with a Zambian immigration officer. To their chagrin, they found themselves arrested-and sentenced by an African magistrate in a lower court to a fine of $2,800 or two years in prison for entering Zambia illegally...
...unsuccessfully advised the Senate Banking Committee to soften the language of a bill that would limit the fees that mutual funds can charge investors. Senator Proxmire said that he was "shocked" that Budge would negotiate for a fund job while that legislation was still pending. Other Senators also expressed chagrin. The bill has been passed by the Senate, but the House has not yet taken...
