...legislative recommendations, the A.F.L.-C.I.O. gave top priority to the repeal of Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley law. The clause gives states the right to enact right-to-work laws, banning union shop contracts. Big Labor has been fighting it since 1947, when Taft-Hartley was enacted. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. figures that next year it will have at least 225 votes for the repeal of 14(b), provided of course that the Johnson Administration does not interfere. That seems unlikely,, especially since Lyndon Johnson ordered a repeal proposal included in the Democratic Party platform...

Baker, who was in the presidential motorcade on Nov. 22, had heard the shots, dashed into the Depository building. The Commission had him re-enact his part, timed him at 90 seconds between the time he left his motorcycle and the time he encountered (but did not arrest) Oswald outside a second-floor lunchroom. Could Oswald have run that quickly from the sixth floor to the second? A Secret Service agent, testing, moved...

Romney could persuade the heavily Republican legislature to fulfill few of the campaign promises made in 1962. Romney was even less successful than his Democratic predecessor in his efforts to enact a badly needed tax reform. governor John Swainson's bill made it to the floor of the State Senate and almost passed, while Romney's bill died in committee...
