This was not the only compromise the supporters of home rule made. Another was on participation of Federal employees--one third of the voters in Washington--in local elections. The Senate bill waived the Hatch Act, which bars civil servants from partisan political activity. Republicans in the House objected. They claimed that the record of clean government in Washington was partially a result of the Hatch Act. The Republicans won. The House bill allows participation only in non-partisan elections. And in a city where four out of five registered voters are Democrats, the Democratic Congress insists on partisan elections...
...orbiting lab will be a canister, about 41 ft. long and 10 ft. wide, that will be attached to a stripped-down Gemini. The two vehicles will be lofted together into space by a Titan IIIC rocket. Once they are in orbit, the spacemen will crawl through a hatch in the Gemini heat shield and enter the lab. For the return to earth, they will simply reverse the procedure, then detach from the 7½-ton canister and descend in the Gemini. Later on, other Gemini crews will take off from the earth, link up in space with...
...knocked them out with .75-mm. recoilless rifles. An armored supply column got lost, found itself deep in enemy territory. Suddenly, from all sides of the column came mortar and heavy-artillery fire. Three shells hit the leading tank, and when its driver tried to squeeze out an escape hatch, he was riddled with bullets.

"The captain," he shouted, "is dead...
...Full 10%. It was the start of a lasting friendship. "The formula for a champion race driver," says Chapman, "is 10% natural ability, 90% experience and dedication." His own dice with Clark at Brands Hatch had convinced him that Jim "had the 10% in full." Already hard at work on a revolutionary Grand-Prix-car design-a "monocoque" body shell that needed no tubular skeleton, was actually little more than a steerable gas tank on wheels-Chapman decided that Clark was just the man to drive it. If he could...
