Aimed chiefly at helping the states enforce their own firearms-control laws by severely restricting the mailorder traffic in rifles, shotguns and ammunition, the law would make it impossible to order long guns-as did Lee Harvey Oswald-from an out-of-state gun mail-order house. Even within his own state, the buyer who orders a gun by mail will have to wait at least one week before the dealer ships the weapon.

Using similar arguments, lawyers last week were busy appealing their way to the Supreme Court on behalf of 13 members of an Army postal unit and 83 logistics troopers at Fort Lee, Va., and 23 finance clerks at Fort Benning, Ga. At Fort Riley, Kans., soldiers belonging to a reserve warehousing unit hired a lawyer to try to block their departure to Viet Nam.

Their early local successes were based on imitations of U.S. blues and rock 'n' roll performers (John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley). Later, they pioneered in pop-art costumes, such as jackets made from Union Jacks. Then they began literally breaking things up-and probably inspired the guitar-burning antics of Singer Jimi Hendrix as well as the Yardbirds' memorable discotheque scene in the film Blow...
