...arsenal of democracy." Last week it was clear that the nation is also something of a private arsenal, even more so than most people had suspected. The new federal firearms act not only bans interstate sale of arms and ammunition but also toughens the Government's 30-year control over automatic weapons, sawed-off shotguns, machine guns, silencers, gadget guns, bombs and grenades. Owners must register all such hardware with Washington as of Dec. 1 or face a maximum penalty of a $10,000 fine and ten years in jail. During a November amnesty allowing owners to report their...
...have bitterly divided the ruling junta into hawks and doves. Possibly as a result, there was a government shake-up involving four of the original junta officers.

Ironically, the strike seems to have furthered the cause of decentralization. Thousands of previously uninvolved city parents, white and black, who had been content to let the schools run themselves, became personally involved in their children's schools, and their operation. Those who were "radicalized" by the strike are not likely to continue to let the professional-teacher, supervisor, board-of-education bureaucrat-have full...
