...often cleverly booby-trapped-a fact that the battlescarred Congress should realize, but apparently doesn't. Two weeks ago Texas Democrat Olin E. Teague, chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, presented the House with a beguiling, Administration-backed pension-reform bill that, it was claimed, would save $12 billion over the next 40 years by tightening the rules on federal pensions for needy veterans. After less than 40 minutes of debate, the House gave the bill its overwhelming endorsement and won itself another Purple Heart...
...your June 1 article on Senator Fulbright and Ogden Reid, it appears that the main object of the piece was to have an excuse to indulge in name-calling. To save me, I could not find anything improper in the questions the Senator asked the aspiring young man. And, pray tell, what did all this have to do with segregation...
...House Veterans' Affairs Committee unanimously approved a veterans' pension reform bill that could save the taxpayers an estimated $12 billion over the next four decades.The Administration-backed bill adopts a sliding-scale principle for determining how big a pension an elderly or partially disabled veteran may draw; the bigger his income from other sources, the smaller his pension.

In a land where newspapers print no unpleasant news, word spread that the big (3,000 employees) Euskalduna shipyard and the Basconia steel mill in Bilbao were also about to lay off their work forces, and so was Madrid...
...punishment, but also as a kind of disease, creating a condition for which eternal punishment is merited and just. "It is certain," wrote Calvin, "that in our body and soul there is in the eyes of God nothing but repulsive filth." But in his mercy, God has elected to save some by giving them the grace to believe in Christ, and through that faith to be justified and raised to eternal life. This is all God's doing; nothing man or church can do can save one who is not among God's predestined elect...
