Through the week, Adam kept up his high spirits. He led barroom hymn sessions, kidded with reporters, took dockside strolls to survey Bimini's natural resources ("Is that all you? he asked one girl in a tight sweater who sauntered past). There was at least some good news to justify his buoyant mood. Exclusion made him eligible for a $15,000 pension-half his regular congressional salary. Better yet, the New York Court of Appeals, highest in the state, lopped $100,000 off the outstanding libel judgment against him and ordered a lower court to reconsider another part...
...division for $300,000 less than its $3,500,000 budget. When Nicholas Katzenbach moved over to the State Department last October, Clark became Acting Attorney General. It had taken Johnson 148 days to publicly remove the "Acting" from Katzenbach's title in 1965-and Ramsey was kept waiting precisely the same number of days.

Aid-chopping Representative Otto ("The Terrible") Passman has vowed to sweat the President's request down to a slim $1 billion. In the House last year, only two votes kept the aid bill from being sent back to committee to be cut some more. Now thirty-three members who supported the Administration's proposals have lost their seats. While there is no way of telling how the fifty-seven now Republican Representatives will vote, most likely they will not be very friendly to the bill...
