...list I submitted consisted of persons of acknowledged fairness and distinction, men and women such as William Alfred, Kenneth Arrow, Stanley Cavell, John Edsall, Roy Glauber, Albert Hirschmann, Doris Kearns, Edward Keenan, Martin Kilson, Harry Levin, Stephen Marglin, Juan Marichal, John Mansfield, Jean Mayer, Frank Michelman, Richard Niebuhr, Richard Pipes, Charles Price, Edward Purcell, Lee Rainwater, John Rawls, Benjamin Schwartz, Laurence Wylie, George Wald, George Williams, John Womack, Lloyd Weigreb and Adam Ulam. To claim that the known results of the previous election in no way influenced the fact that none of the above persons received more votes than...
Even Democrats sympathetic to labor's aims are puzzled by Meany's peevish departure. "Labor should be just as interested in price controls, unemployment and the general economic situation as anyone else," notes Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. In abandoning the board, Meany and his union supporters now will become readymade scapegoats if the Administration's anti-inflation efforts fail.

The danger is that what has been billed as a correction of an unpopular device to achieve integration could turn into a headlong retreat from integration itself...
...Senate then went on to approve the Mansfield-Scott proposal by a handy 63 to 34. The proposal would prohibit the use of federal funds to implement busing unless local authorities requested the money-something they would undoubtedly do if faced with a court order to bus, since the alternative would be to raise their own funds. It would also delay execution of any court order requiring the transportation of children across school district lines until all appeals are heard, or until July 1, 1973. The bill's most substantive provision would prevent federal officials, but not the courts...
