...January 1973, the new majority leader was responsible for the adoption of a party reform weakening the traditional seniority system that automatically kept committee chairmen in power year after year. Now the chairmen must be approved at the start of every Congress by a vote of the entire Democratic caucus...
...wonder if I might add a minor footnote to TIME'S gracious and generous account of my corporate activities. All of the eight attempts at full faculty status in the University of Chicago were instituted not by me but by university chairmen and deans. In many of the instances there was a strong majority recommendation from the units in which I would have served. These recommendations were blocked by mysterious forces at higher levels.

Wilson's superb party connections, combined with the generous amounts of political patronage that he can dispense as Governor, give...
...publication of the accord was approved by both Pope Paul VI and the Archbishop of Canterbury. But the commission's Anglican and Roman Catholic chairmen were careful to point out that the document was only "an agreed statement of the commission and nothing more." Any action to increase ecumenical exchange between Anglicans and Catholics will have to come from the hierarchies of the two communions. Moreover, there is still a major stumbling block: the Roman Catholic doctrine of the infallibility and primacy of the Pope...
