...that he could persuade Alabama Democrat John Sparkman to cast the 60th vote if the 59th could be secured. Byrd had acquired a pledge of that vote from Louisiana Democrat Russell Long, who would switch from his pro-filibuster stand if, among other things, the bill were amended to outlaw labor's use of "stranger" pickets, workers from one plant who join picket lines at another. Byrd planned to send the bill back to the Human Resources Committee to add the Long provision...
...last week took the bold (some say foolhardy) step of embarking on a major social experiment with little solid information on what its impact will be. President Carter signed a bill, passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress, that will outlaw the widespread practice of requiring workers to retire at the age of 65. Most workers will not be forced to retire solely because of age until they reach 70. Consequences of the change are so uncertain that the law itself calls for a study to assess its own effect...
...European Court is expected to condemn the practice this spring, forcing Britain to outlaw birching on the isle. The Manx are not likely to submit meekly.

In his newest film, The Gauntlet, Eastwood races by car, motorcycle, freight train and bus to bring a witness against the Mob to the trial on time. But only at the wheel, Witteman found, does the otherwise quiet and domestic Eastwood, who does...
...that not only earned critical praise but became the bestselling album of the year. Jimmy Buffett: Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes (ABC). Countrified Caribbean and laid-back Southern rock blended together like a well-mixed Margarita. Waylon Jennings: Ol' Waylon (RCA). Country music's amiably gruff outlaw puts heart into honky-tonk-and Luckenbach, Texas, squarely on the map. The Phil Woods Six (RCA, 2 LPs). A master saxman and his friends hotfinger their way through familiar jazz standards and lively originals. James Taylor: JT (Columbia). Sweet Baby James shows the old homespun ease and comes...
