...should he have. The Senate version includes the President's proposals for the nationwide suspension of literacy tests and relaxation of residency requirements. But it also retains, for five more years, the strong enforcement machinery that Nixon would scrap. The original act applied to states and counties in the North and South where less than 50% of the voting-age population was registered for the 1964 election, and its impact was felt primarily in the South. The Senate-passed measure has been expanded to include counties where less than half the eligible voters were registered in 1968 as well...
...terms, the Senate and House votes may come to little. The Stennis amendment, attached to a $35 billion aid-to-education bill, faces a vote in the House and then a House-Senate conference, where the members, mostly liberals from the congressional education committees, may dilute the rider or scrap it. Besides, the amendment is framed as "a policy of the U.S. Government," which lacks the force of law. The House antibusing and freedom-of-choice provisions must go to the Senate and then to joint conference. Further, the amendments are part of a $19.4 billion Labor-HEW appropriation bill...
Industry has a vital role: first to minimize pollution, and then to work toward recycling all wastes (see box, page 60). There is profit in the process.

At another point, when his arms were covered with welts and felt heavy as scrap iron, Muhammad retreated to his corner and refused to come out again until Woroner paid him an extra $2,000 in cash. (Ali's original deal was $10,000, plus a piece of the action; Rocky got slightly more but no percentage.) The footage previewed by TIME looked realistic...
...sifting every scrap of evidence and interviewing virtually everyone still alive who could have knowledge of the death, the author has reconstructed certain essentials. There was extreme disorder in both Masaryk's bedroom and bathroom-pillows on the bathroom floor and in the dry tub, glass bottles from the medicine chest ground under foot, a smear of excrement on the sill. Strangely, Masaryk had gone out the bathroom window even though it was much smaller than the one in the bedroom and very awkward to reach...
