Democratic control would also leave the key House committees in familiar hands. Arkansas' Wilbur Mills would chair Ways and Means; Texas' George Mahon, Appropriations; South Carolina's Mendel Rivers, Armed Services; and Mississippi's William Colmer, Rules...
...troubles stem from his decision to carry out swiftly the state legislature's directive to set up pilot projects for decentralized control of the public schools. Lindsay collided head-on with the autocratic school system, and especially with its dug-in unions of teachers, principals, supervisors and custodians. One measure of their power is the fact that in the past five years, only a handful of New York City's 60,000 teachers have been fired for cause. By last week all of them were at war with the mayor (see EDUCATION...

The new model, developed in research at Manhattan's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, has a magnetic tip. This can be made to oscillate in different directions under the control of an external magnet on alternating current. As the tip vibrates, it pulls clear of the artery's walls, leaving them undamaged, and "swims" forward. When the magnet is powered by direct current, it helps to steer the device...
