...Winchester, where he is editor of the Winchester Star (circ. 13,-000), took his father's old front-row desk for the first day, will eventually move to a back-of-the-chamber spot reserved for new members. On the House side, two new members also took the oath: Ohio Republican Clarence J. Brown Jr., 38, an Urbana publisher and radio executive, and California Democrat Thomas Rees, 40, a Los Angeles farm-machinery exporter...
...Light. For years New York's mayors have traditionally taken their oath of office on the city hall steps at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 1, but Lindsay decided to make a change. The father of four young children (aged 5 to 15), he ordered the ceremony for 6 p.m. on New Year's Eve so that the kids could see it without missing their bedtimes.

...Roberts political-management firm, Reagan has moved slightly toward center. He still spends a good part of his time inveighing against "social tinkering" and "big-brother, paternalistic government," has refused to rule out support from the far-right wing by declaring: "I am not going to submit a loyalty oath to anyone who votes for me."

Of the 10,000 built from 1936 to 1946, some 5,000 are still in the air, faithfully serving 174 airlines in 70 countries. In the heart of the jet age, the DC-3 still accounts for nearly one-third of the world...
...Everybody's already read out the Birchers," snapped Arizona's John Rhodes, chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee. "Why should we have to take the oath every time we come up to bat?" Other G.O.P. congressional leaders agreed. On the road back from the 1964 Republican National Convention, many party chieftains have exorcised the bugaboo of "extremism." Yet when the party's nine-month-old coordinating committee met in Washington last week, moderate Republican Governors, led by Idaho's Bob Smylie, insisted that the leadership should collectively and specifically condemn the John Birch Society...
