Anachronistic state residency requirements continue to prevent citizens abroad or families on the move from voting; worse, Congressional districts sometimes vary by 100 per cent in size, and Congress seems intent on suspending the Court-ordered redistricting until 1972 when the 1970 census will be available; worst of all, Congress refuses to allow the 800,000 residents of the District of Columbia to have local home rule or representation in the U.S. Congress to eliminate these voting inequities, but, so far, opponents have used procedural irresponsibility to block them...

Then out for the last round came the four contenders-and a physiognomist could have picked the winner. Fleckman was visibly nervous; Arnie was intent; Casper stood trancelike on the first tee, gazing vacantly at the sky. Nicklaus was smiling and strutting like a sergeant major...
