Still at issue was a civil rights bill produced by an eleven-member Judiciary subcommittee chaired by Brooklyn's civil righteous Democratic Representative Emanuel Celler, who also heads the full Judiciary Committee. That bill went far beyond what the Kennedy Administration had asked-and far beyond what either the House or the Senate would accept...
...night, a fleet of 70 chartered buses shuttled the G.I.s across the flat, dusty Texas plains to four nearby air-bases. So tight was the schedule they followed that on the 75-minute trip from Fort Hood to Bergstrom, precisely eleven minutes were allowed for stop lights. In groups of 70 or 80, perspiring soldiers in itchy o.d.s tramped up the ramps; inside the windowless cargo planes the temperature hit 110°, and the men shucked shirts and even T shirts until they were airborne and began cooling...

Since last February, Castroite terrorists have bombed each of Sears's eleven stores, and burned down a $2,000,000 warehouse. So how's business? Great. Sears's sales are now running 30% better than last year in some stores. The company is rebuilding the warehouse, adding a twelfth store, and going partners on two new factories to produce furniture and stoves...
