Scarcely had the chaplain said amen to the opening prayer when Missouri Republican Durward Hall demanded the entire journal of the preceding session be read. The clerk had barely begun to drone when Minority Whip Leslie Arends of Illinois leaped up and demanded a quorum count, which includes a full roll call of the House. McCormack had to comply. The count ate up half an hour. It was hardly finished when Iowa Republican H. R. Gross asked for another. And so it went all afternoon and into the night. Majority Leader Carl Albert accused the opposition of filibustering. Tempers frazzled...
Neither was most of the competition. When the nine other newspaper unions refused to cross the Guild picket line, the papers belonging to the New York Publishers Association-the Her-a'd Tribune, Daily News, Journal-American, World-Telegram, Long Island Daily Press and Star-Journal-shut down too. Of the city's major dailies, only the New York Post, which does not belong to the association, was still on newsstands-a situation that served as an ominous reminder of 1962's 114-day newspaper strike, which crippled the city's papers and helped send...

...biochemists put the insects in contact with pieces of U.S. newspapers, starting with a Walter Lippmann column from the Boston Globe ("That seemed like a good beginning," says Williams) and going on to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. A substance in the wood pulp used to make U.S. newsprint acts much like the juvenile hormone that young bugs secrete. This hormone keeps the bugs immature until they are ready for metamorphosis; only after its flow is stopped can the bugs become adult. When the insects come in contact with the paper, they absorb the hormonelike chemical...
