...Matter the Facts. Less than two weeks ago, it hardly seemed it would come to that. Despite the protests of organized labor and civil rights groups, Haynsworth's confirmation appeared assured. What brought about the sudden shift in Republican ranks against Haynsworth was the disclosure that he once had a tenuous business connection with Bobby Baker, the former Democratic Senate aide who was convicted of larceny and tax evasion in 1967. Both men invested in a South Carolina real estate deal several years ago, although neither apparently knew the other. Indiana's Democratic Senator Birch Bayh, leader...
...Senate leaders. Haynsworth has turned out to be more than they bargained for as a political problem, and less than they are willing to accept as a Supreme Court Justice. Nixon's nominee has a pedestrian record as a jurist, one that unions view as anti-labor and civil rights workers as ante bellum.

Last week Pan American and TWA petitioned the CAB for an identical fare. The board is likely to approve. By acting without the consent of the International Air Transport Association, the three lines threatened the whole labyrinthine fare structure and set the stage for a searching reassessment...
