...Oligarchic Order. The conflict, as always, has strongly religious overtones. But because the central issue involves civil rights at the local level, it has become a cause not only for Catholic activists but also for New Left militants, Communists and even a few liberal Protestants. Last summer near the town of Dungannon, a 29-year-old opposition M.P. named Austin Currie staged a sit-in to protest the assignment of a family flat to the unmarried teenage secretary of a Unionist bigwig. The protest quickly spread to Londonderry, where a system of blatant gerrymandering has resulted in the two-thirds...
...That recent, obscure piece of legislation withholds new NASA research grants from schools that bar military recruiters. More significantly, it also forbids universities to dispense NASA funds to any individual who has ever been convicted in any U.S. court of "organizing, promoting, encouraging, or participating in a riot or civil disorder"-provided that the offense was a felony carrying a penalty of more than one year in jail.

It is too easy to arose false hopes and to stimulate unrealizable...
Possible Partners. Eastern had high hopes of winning rich new routes after a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner recommended approval last April of its request for runs to Hawaii and Asia. But Eastern's lobbying in Washington did not measure up to that of other carriers, most of which engaged high-power political bigwigs to plead their cases. When the matter reached the White House, President Johnson divided new Pacific passenger routes among five airlines, but bypassed Eastern altogether (TIME, Dec. 27). That left Eastern Chairman Floyd Hall committed to buy $48 million worth of stretched DC-8s, which...
