...Congress to extend voting rights. In 1959, the court ruled that literacy tests do not discriminate. But Congress later decided that, in fact, they do-and banned them by law. The court went along. To Galebach, this shows that the court is willing to defer to Congress's factual determination of the scope of constitutional rights or, in the abortion issue, the fundamental question of when life begins...
Members of the Global 2000 staff strongly dispute Simon's assertions. Gerald Barney, a Washington consultant who served as the panel's director, denounces Simon's article as "full of factual errors, distortions, misrepresentations and falsehoods."

Thus did Republican Senator Charles Percy of Illinois describe his extraordinary meeting last week with Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow. The conference lasted two hours and 40 minutes, more than an hour longer than scheduled. It marked the first time since July 1979, when Brezhnev met with Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, that the Soviet leader has talked in person and at length with a high-level U.S. official. From all appearances, it was a major effort...
