Strikes by public employees became commonplace, and union memberships increasingly disavowed contracts negotiated by their leaders, threatening to upset a pattern of stable labor relations built up over a generation. Even the two-party system was threatened, as millions of Americans, mostly lower-middle-class voters demanding law and order and resentful of Negroes' demands, responded to the egregious slogans of George Wallace...
...twelve department heads get the same pay: $35,000 a year* plus such perquisites as the use of a limousine. Yet to become Secretary of State, William Rogers is giving up an income in the $300,000 range, derived from his law practice and his limited partnership in the Dreyfus Fund. David Kennedy (Treasury) has been earning more than $230,000 a year, plus stock options, as chairman of the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co. Maurice Stans (Commerce) has been grossing about $250,000 as president of the investment-banking firm of Glore Forgan, William R. Staats...
Star of David. Though last spring's disorders revealed the depth of France's discontent, De Gaulle and his ministers have failed since then to find fundamental solutions.

Though the Election Year rhetoric has subsided, law and order - one of the big issues in the campaign - remains a national concern. Last week the FBI reported that crime in the U.S. rose 19% in the first nine months of 1968 over the same period last year.

Presumably, police would be as alert in the early morning as at any other time. Yet the sorry fact is that while the cities...
...often happens, the law in Kelley's case was slow to catch up with the reality. In most California cities, topless dancers are now hopelessly oldfashioned. In one Los Angeles pool hall, the men around the tables hardly notice the topless dancer ten feet away from them. Many nightclubs are now promoting the "bottomless" dancer, who performs covered only by a G string, known as a "Band-Aid," or, in the case of one San Francisco dancer, a gold heart from Tiffany's that says "love" in six languages...
