Arizona and North Dakota have moved to raise their limits, but only if the federal maximum is raised or repealed. And, in fact, Republican S.I. Hayakawa recently introduced a repeal bill in the U.S. Senate. Yet the Reagan Administration does not intend to press the issue, even though last year's Republican Party platform included a call for removal of the national 55 m.p.h. limit. The federal official in charge of making the limit stick, Highway Administrator Ray Barnhart, is a reluctant taskmaster. Says he: "I think it's a stinking law, but I'm going...
...Indeed, just three months ago, the borough of Lambeth, where Brixton is located, had investigated police-community relations in the area and found them "extremely grave." A Lambeth committee had recommended that the Sus law be abolished. Then Parliament indicated that it would prepare the necessary legislation for effective repeal, but it was still pondering the legislation when Brixton exploded.

...scarcely abandon a country that has "stood behind us in every war we ever fought." Two weeks ago, Reagan officials were toying with the idea of inviting Prime Minister P.W. Botha to Washington after his expected victory in national elections later this month. The Administration has asked Congress to repeal the 1976 Clark amendment, which bars covert U.S. aid to rebel guerrillas in Angola. For its part, South Africa may have used the tough new U.S. stance against terrorism to accelerate a war against leftist guerrillas in Namibia, which South Africa has administered since...
