...toughest fight was prompted by Dirksen's son-in-law, Tennessee Senator Howard Baker, who proposed to exempt from the open-housing provision certain privately owned one-family units. Several Republican conservatives, notably South Dakota's Karl Mundt, had demanded the Baker amendment as a condition for agreeing to cloture. By a 48-to-43 vote, the Baker amendment was killed...
Besides Wirtz's judgement, Johnson made his decisions because of widespread criticism of "pyramiding." Graduate students in the past have been able to pile one deferment on top of another until they were exempt from service because of age. This inequity has been a focal point for the non-ideological criticism of the draft. Johnson's primary goal is known to have been halting that criticism and secondarily alleviating the inequities. Although he seems to have achieved the first, he has only reversed the second, placing the military obligation disproportionately on the formerly-privileged group...
Venus Examined assumes that a small, sleazy charitable foundation attempts to grab status in the world of tax-exempt altruism by sponsoring a sex research project. The researcher is bent on filming the orgasm in its natural habitat, using live volunteers and, among other teaching aids, a camera-equipped mechanical phallus.

Neither Robert Kyle nor Patrick Catling is a hopelessly bad writer, sentence by sentence, although Catling wins the nomination for the silliest line of the year (so far): "Camilla...
...next act of this saddening spectacle will be played out on Monday when Senator Mansfield (D-Mont.) will again try to close the discussion.

At present only owner-occupied homes of up to four units are exempt, the "Mrs. Murphy's boarding houses." On the civil rights bill, Dirksen himself has offered an amendment, suggesting that the states be allowed six months to act against the offenders. The federal government would interfere only after six months, if a state had failed to take action...
...were given 90 days to disengage. They obviously would prefer not to do so, and will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. Failing there, an avenue remains to the nation's many consolidation-minded publishers. The failing-newspaper bill, now languishing in a Senate subcommittee pigeonhole, would exempt from antitrust laws those papers combined along the Albuquerque Plan, provided that one of the pair was in serious financial trouble. The management of Tucson's dailies believe that their papers would qualify. So do scores of other publishers who are wondering this week what to do about...
