Some congressional Republicans, caught in the Administration's policy turnaround, said noncommittally that Medicare "deserved study." House G.O.P. Leader and Budget Crusader Charlie Halleck admitted sadly that it was a "budget buster." Arizona's Barry Goldwater raised the cry of "socialized medicine," called the plan part of a "dime-store New Deal." The American Medical Association damned it from the one side as unnecessary, while the A.F.L.-C.I.O.-which has led the political crusade for the Forand bill-damned it from the other as political. New Jersey's Democratic Governor Robert Meyner called it "absolutely stupid...

The House debate on the civil rights bill had ended, the Southern holdouts had accepted the inevitable, the civil rights advocates were quietly confident. On the floor, nobody bothered to keep score. Republican Minority Leader Charles Halleck sat quietly relaxed; Ohio's William McCulloch, the G.O.P. floor manager for the bill, dawdled with his yellow pencil; the South's floor manager, Louisiana's Edwin Willis, scribbled on a note pad; New York's Emanuel Celler, the Democrats' floor manager, even left the chamber during...
