...through Congress would almost certainly create an uproar. It might harden the conservative-liberal schisms in both houses to the point where Johnson could lose valuable support on other more important bills. Though repeal of the clause was demanded in the 1960 and 1964 Democratic platforms, there seems little likelihood the President will risk a fight for it now. Says Mansfield: "We ought to have the legislation, but I am doubtful that we will get it this year." Johnson also wants to expand the federal minimum wage ($1.25 an hour) to cover another 2,000,000 people-mostly hotel, restaurant...
...programs of other Western nations, IDA is still pretty small potatoes. But it is making loans that would not other wise be granted for projects that might not otherwise be built, and many of the projects promise to bring enormous returns to the countries involved. There is far less likelihood that the U.S. will ever get much in return-either in hard currency or lasting gratitude-for its contributions which account for 32% of all IDA funds.

...intellectual who surrounds himself and his colleagues with modern art, Block angered competitors in 1962 by holding the price line during the steel crisis. Although he recently came out for steel price rises now, Block is realistic enough to admit that "I don't think there is much likelihood of an across-the-board increase any time soon." He is calm about defending his market-a market he knows the way the old-time grocer knew his customers-and he promises: "We shall give a very good account of ourselves." As usual, everyone in Pittsburgh knows exactly what...
