Staunch Friends. An unfriendly House subcommittee recently subjected Stewart to the toughest congressional grilling of his career, and the Senate, acting on the unanimous recommendation of its 27-member Appropriations Committee, tacked an amendment on an appropriations bill forbidding him to proceed with the west-front extension until he gets an independent appraisal of the feasibility of repairing the old walls...

Worried about the latest opinion polls, which showed that only 28.8% of the Japanese public supports him, Sato warned his party leaders to "proceed slowly" on the bill-which in his language meant drop it. Economic Planner Aiichiro Fujiyama chimed in to say that it should be "studied further"-which in his language meant drop it immediately. The bill was quietly dropped...
