...together behind Mrs. Smith's new amendment. They did just that, but it was not enough. Even with Mrs. Smith, they had only 50 votes, one shy of the majority needed to carry an amendment. Although the amendment was already defeated, Vice President Spiro Agnew added his vote to make the result 50-51. Far easier passage of Safeguard is expected in the House...
...limited success: the Nixon message, that the U.S. will keep a lower silhouette in that part of the world once the Viet Nam war is over, was received with understanding, though Nixon kept U.S. intentions inexact. So far, the Nixon Administration has done no more than make exploratory stabs at the problems of the Middle East and Latin America.

For instance, if the new approach were in effect this year, California would be getting an extra $179,500,000. Alaska would receive $1,000,000 more...
Columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson became the first to publish a widely circulated notion that Kennedy, immediately after the accident, had Joe Gargan, his cousin, agree to "admit to driving the car." The columnists said that Ted Kennedy, Markham and Gargan returned to the Dike Bridge "to make certain that Gargan would be totally familiar with the circumstances surrounding 'his' unfortunate accident." But "in the cold light of dawn," say Pearson and Anderson, the Senator "decided to face the consequences himself."
