...enacted, these changes in federal campaign expenditure laws would prevent the recurrence of incidents like the Case affair. With the prestige of the McClellan committee behind them, these revisions might pass before the next election. The McClellan group should, therefore, recommend the changes and Congress should enact them...

Each of them scarred by ugly memories, they enact-as man and woman, as menial and lady-an ugly drama. Their spitting and clawing seems sick, savage, yet never beyond belief. In the current production, the play's power is more spasmodic than sustained; despite George Tabori's playable adaptation, too much tends to date. Though Swedish-born Viveca Lindfors succeeds in the title role, James Daly overstresses what is crude in the valet by a crudity of attack. Even so, Miss Julie has explosive elements that neither O'Neill, Hellman nor Tennessee Williams has ever surpassed...

As matters stand now, the Reserve Forces Act is only a poor compromise between the draft...

...ends our Senate," said the antigovernment newspaper the Rand Daily Mail. The way is clear for Strydom to abolish the franchise of the last of South Africa's 8,500,000 nonwhites, and to enact apartheid and the total "master rule" of whites that he has preached so long. The way is also clear, at some future time, to proclaim a republic and make Afrikaans the only official language of the land. If the prospect disconcerted other English-speaking South Africans than a few Black Sashers, they were too despairing, or too interested in not rocking the boat...
