Since 1846, when the U.S. Senate wrangled for two months over the Oregon resolution (which led to a treaty defining U.S.-British jurisdiction in the Pacific Northwest), no other debate ever made a bigger demand on Senate time and vocal cords. The Senate's civil rights debate began last Feb. 15 and ended, 53 days later, last week. In a swift vote, powered by an overwhelming, 71-10-18 majority, the Senate passed the 1960 civil rights bill and sent it back to the House for, hopefully, quick agreement by a floor vote. When that happens, the civil rights...
...plan to lay down a 1,400-mile pipeline to carry 458.7 million cubic feet daily to its California parent, the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Under the two other licenses, Canadian gas would flow to markets in Montana and the Northwest...
Southeastward at 18,000 ft. over southern Indiana one afternoon last week bored a Northwest Airlines propjet Lockheed Electra bearing passengers from snowy Minneapolis and Chicago to Miami. At about 3 o'clock, Pilot Ed Laparle, 57, checked on the radio with Indianapolis Control Center, signed off with an all's well.

He scoffed at the 1-20 odds his doctors gave him, underwent surgery and won the fight-along with the admiration and sympathy of his colleagues. His struggle left him a humbler...
...early years Neuberger became, through his many articles and books, a one-man Chamber of Commerce for the Northwest he loved so well. In 1950 he and his pretty wife Maurine became a political as well as a marital team-he as a state senator, she as a representative. In 1952 both Neubergers were reelected, the only candidates in Oregon to outrun Dwight Eisenhower. Two years later, Dick decided to try for the U.S. Senate and, with a warm assist from Senator Wayne Morse (an erstwhile Republican), Democrat Neuberger won by an eyelash 2,000 votes. In 1956 he returned...
