...historic respect for constitutional civilian authority. Brazil's military has intervened before in times of crisis to save the country from its politicians: in the last 150 years the military has toppled one Brazilian emperor, one dictator, one acting President and two full Presidents. But never for the sake of power...
Winton B. Rankin, an FDA spokesman, told a special Senate subcommittee that the agency had found no evidence that such impurities are to blame; for safety's sake the FDA is continuing its investigation.

Just for form's sake, Oregon's Wayne Morse, a pro-rights man, believes the bill ought to go to the Judiciary Committee, headed by Mississippi Segregationist James O. Eastland, with instructions that it be returned in ten days. In Eastland's hands, a civil rights bill has the approximate survival quotient of a snowball in the Sahara: 121 such measures have been...
