While many more pressing issues clamor for attention, the assistant majority leader has made his ill-conceived, hastily passed 1966 Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act the upper chamber's overriding concern. The measure would give up to $30 million each to the Republican and Democratic parties from $1 contributions checked off federal income tax returns. Though the Senate has already voted three times...
