Candidates for Class Committee must notify their House Election Committee by midnight Friday and the election will be Tuesday. The marshals and committeemen elect a class secretary, a treasurer and two class agents from each house...
...appears that TIME has chosen to elect Albert Shanker as the villain in the New York City public-school dispute [Oct. 25]. The fact that Albert Shanker lives in Putnam County and earns an annual salary of $16,750 (which TIME stated) bears as much relevance to the cure of the city's ills as the fact that Rhody McCoy lives in Roosevelt, L.I. and earns an annual salary of $30,000 (which TIME neglected to state).

And he will have to redirect this country's resources to its own disintergrating cities, and not necessarily with...
...Having the House decide the Presidential election would be one of those cataclysms that drives the Congress to action. In the same way that three assassinations and civil rights marches on the scale of Selma led to long-talked-about legislation, the buying-and-selling-votes catastrophe in the House would scare up enough initiative to amend the Constitution to elect the President by popular majority...
