...whole, they were very successful. Over the weekend, Hart's advisers tentatively decided against pursuing a credentials challenge to some 600 Mondale delegates who Hart claims are "tainted" by support from political-action committees. Mondale also snared the endorsement of Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy. But the delicacy of Mondale's peacemaking task was illustrated by the machinations last week over the party platform. Of the 15 members of the drafting committee, a bare majority-eight-were Mondale supporters. They dutifully obeyed the commands of a rumpled, chain-smoking Mondale operative, Paul Tully, who hovered about the drafting table...
...illegal immigrants who arrived here before 1982. In addition, a national commission will be appointed to study the impact of factors such as Third World poverty and the agriculture industry's dependence on undocumented workers on the immigration dilemma. This was originally part of an alternative bill sponsored by Edward R. Roybal (D-Calif.), designed to examine possible long-term and international solutions...
...biased employers would refuse to hire any workers with Spanish surnames or accents and, if challenged under civil rights laws, would claim they suspected that the applicants' documentation was phony. On a key vote last week, however, the House rejected, 304 to 120, an attempt by California Democrat Edward Roybal to strike employer fines from the bill.

A special interceptor rocket fired from Meek Island in the Kwajalein archipelago had struck the dummy warhead of a Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that had been launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California some 30 earlier. Military analyst described the collision, which pulverized both projectiles more...
Volume II has no such liability. Few Americans were on the scene as the Third Reich took form. Shirer was in Berlin, and accompanied Hitler and his entourage to Paris when the Petain government surrendered in 1940. At the start he was a newspaperman; Edward R. Murrow hired him away in 1937 to be the other half of CBS Radio's staff in Europe. Shirer's journalistic credentials eventually brought him invitations to the bizarre Nazi Bierabends (get-togethers over beer) organized for the press by Alfred Rosenberg, the official Nazi philosopher. Hermann Göring would circulate...
