...scream Swan for the rabid-racist support. Williams has the distinct advantage of having lost his House seniority by supporting Republican Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election. This made a minor martyr of him. In a Southern state like Mississippi, where personal attacks rather than issues dominate campaigns, promises differ in tone and emphasis and not in content. Williams, who has amply proved his conservative credentials by giving up his Party power for Goldwater, does not need to shout the old slogans. Lester Maddox, in the Georgia gubernatorial race last year, never once raised the issue of race, but instead...
...that the rioters share the bored frustration and inarticulate revulsion against society that erupts in riots of young whites on vacation or in orgies of vandalism by elite young partygoers-or in the less sensational but more disturbing apathy of many of my fellow college students. The ghetto explosions differ because they have the continuing impetus of legitimate grievances inflamed by a popular movement and a war cry, but they share the same "ungrateful" indifference and taunting arrogance.

After that, no state's largest and smallest districts could differ by more than 10 per cent. The proposed compromise plan was outrageously different from either the House or the Senate versions of the bill. The House voted for the 10 per cent requirement after the next census and imposed a 30 per cent limitation on district differences until then. The Senate had voted for an immediate 10 per cent limitation starting the next session of Congress...
...discipline. At the two-year-old Irvine campus of the University of California, which bills itself as "designed for the modern man," 17 courses are partly taught by computer. In Geography I, for example, the machine leads students through such questions as: "How does geography's focus differ from that of the other social sciences?" (Correct answer: "Geography is interested in the spatial impact of all categories of human behavior, whereas other disciplines tend to focus upon a single category.") If the student respends with any or all of the key phrases in the answer, the computer replies "good...
