Frustration has sometimes seemed to exceed progress. Rockefeller's term started with a bitter aftertaste of Faubus' twelve-year reign. The Democratic legislature-there are only three Republicans, v. 132 Democrats, in the two houses-confirmed 93 of Faubus' lame-duck appointments to state agencies, then attempted to block Rockefeller's nominees. The Governor had to go to court to make good an appointment to the public service commission. Like Arkansas Razorbacks crunching opposition ball carriers, the legislators downed one Rockefeller proposal after another: an audit of the corruption-tainted highway department, reform of jury selection...
...adult who Mark Lindsay is and he will guess, maybe the son of New York's mayor? He is not. He is the positively super-fab lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders. Anyone who does not know that is obviously lame, a noid-or perhaps just over 25 and into the twilight of life. To stop being such a square or a jerk paranoid type, all that is necessary is to start digging a new breed of magazine that is aimed at the hip teenager...
...hand-picked members of Bertrand Russell's "International War Crimes Tribunal" were all dolled up for their denunciation scene. French Novelist Simone de Beauvoir glittered in a silver lame blouse, while Playwright Peter Weiss, who had worn a corduroy jacket all week, donned a grey, striped business suit for the occasion. But all the pomp and ceremony could not add one bit of suspense to the peacenik extravaganza-or respectability to the "verdict." After nine days of canned and Kafkaesque testimony by Russell's loyal witnesses, Tribunal President Jean-Paul Sartre declared that the U.S. had been found...
...knows whether the old man will run for re-election next year-he is far too canny to make himself a lame duck at this stage of the game-but if he does, he will face the toughest opponent of his career in Barry Goldwater. Though he has the unquestioned advantages of seniority and more than a little edge in sentiment (he can still recall seeing Geronimo's hostile Apache signal fires glinting from the hills), Hayden would be 97 when the term expired, and might have some difficulty appealing to the thousands of young, newly arrived Arizonans. Last...
Haack's elevation, which is expected to be formally approved by the exchange's 33-man board of governors in May, will come none too soon. Because of Funston's lame-duck status, the Big Board has been more or less marking time in its imminent showdown with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which wants some basic reforms in brokerage commission practices-notably, the elimination of "give-ups," by which brokers doing business on behalf of mutual funds split their commissions. In fact, one reason for the difficulty in selecting a new president was the resistance...
