Steiner likes beer, Benson & Hedges cigarettes, violence and very little else. Compulsively clean, he throws even slightly dusty plates at his mess waiters, then kicks them to drive the point home. But he also plucked a 21-year-old Ibo boy from the side of his dead parents, adopted him and named him Felix Chukwuemeka (after Ojukwu) Steiner...
Tough Act. With the session drawing to a close, the 90th Congress could be faulted for having broken little fresh ground in the areas of social and ban reform. Nonetheless the 90th did have a tough act to follow. The 89th had all but swept the legislative agenda clean-its successor, with 50 more Republicans in its ranks as a result of the 1966 elections, was billed as the "stop, look and listen" Congress. Despite its determination to consolidate past gains, the 90th could boast some triumphs of its own. The pluses...

...maids, for example, spend half their time every day cleaning the large, multi-unit bathrooms.

In any case, it's not going to ruin anyone's academic standing to clean up a bathroom occasionally...
Perhaps the most fundamental issue dividing Humphrey and Nixon is whether Washington should mastermind or merely encourage social reform. Humphrey is convinced that the government must spend vast amounts of money to better the lot of Negroes, clean up the slums, improve health, transportation and education. Last month he came out for a 50% increase in social security pensions over the next four years, a boost that would ultimately cost $12 billion a year. Since all that money must come from somewhere, Humphrey is considerably less emphatic than Nixon in asserting that this year's 10% income surtax should...
