...hard to find an ex-aide of Lyndon Johnson's who has not gone to a firm that solicits work from the Government, and there is a long list of men who have served on regulatory agencies and later represented clients before those very same agencies. Last year the Civil Aeronautics Board completely reversed the recommendations of its own examiners in handing out lucrative trans-Pacific routes, largely favoring airlines whose officers or lobbyists had connections with the Democratic Party. Richard Nixon has since vetoed the deal; whether Republican-oriented airlines win the next round remains to be seen...
...York's Jacob Javits, acting chairman of the Senate Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, was driven to a barnlike building in east Los Angeles known as the All-Nations Neighborhood Center. There, in a filth-encrusted gymnasium, Javits and Kansas Senator Robert Dole were shocked to find that the area's Mexican-Americans and Negroes were not only hungry and unhappy but also bitterly critical of the committee...

Last week's polls only partly indicate how formidable a threat Poher is to Pompidou. If no one wins a majority on June 1, a runoff election between the two top vote getters will be held two weeks later. Pompidou might then find that Gaullist drawing power is fixed. If Poher, on the other hand, can assemble a large anti-Gaullist coalition - such as defeated the referendum - his current 35% reading might translate into a majority, as those voters who backed candidates eliminated in Round 1 choose between the two survivors. He already has the endorsement...
Another expert at the A.P.A. meeting pointed out that the way of the unfaithful is smoothed by the diminishing presence of jealousy in marriage. Sociologist Jessie Bernard, professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University, noted that some wives are relieved to find that their marriage is suffering from "nothing more serious" than infidelity. In addition, women are having more affairs of their own, partly because of the liberating influence of the pill and partly because of their growing economic independence...
