Beer, a sponsor of the recently formed "Harvard Students for Edward M. Kennedy," was particularly emphatic in his condemnation of the ADA's action of Kennedy. Reportedly, Beer was able to muster a majority of ADA action to the Kennedy cause, but was unable to overcome opposition from Hughes and Lodge supporters to obtain the necessary two thirds vote for endorsement...
Against such formidable opposition Quadros could only muster the support of six minor parties, ranging from the far right to the far left. But he soon recaptured his old magic with the crowds. Until a few weeks ago, newspapers ignored his campaign and poked fun at him. On the anniversary of his resignation, S?o Paulo papers headlined it as Dia da Fuga, day of flight. But J?nio told a cheering crowd that election day, Oct. 7, will be Dia da Forra, day of redress. And slowly he has gained ground, especially among the lower classes, where his promises...
...sometime Senate talk champion, Oregon's Morse fittingly started the filibuster off fortnight ago, getting the floor and holding it for two rambling days. Another day was spent in constant calls for quorum, in which only six minutes were spent on debate.

...lives of the two races rarely intersect. An exception occurred this weekend when the Campbell's Soup factory held its annual open house, a "once a year day" complete with fried, chicken, cold soda, popular music, and softball. But the factory needs every bit of Negro support it can muster. Along with Vita Vita Foods (who distribute Eastern shore pickles and herring up and down the Atlantic seaboard) it is the town's chief source of Negro employment: about 90 per cent of the colored people here work in one of the two plants. Just now there is a strong...
