Hopefully at that time the Senate will recognize the bill's incorrigible nature and vote to scrap it in its entirety and draft another. So far, however, only a few newspaper editors and civil liberties agencies have expressed outrage at the bill, but the general public has applied little pressure against the bill. It is impossible to predict just what will happen once the bill gets on the floor. But, there is a good chance that the bill's supporters will insist that some of the repressive measures of S.1 find their way into whatever crime bill the Congress eventually...

The public wants every scrap of detail about someone deranged enough to take a pot shot at the President. We're going to cover it. There's no other...
...cloud after the Nazi-Soviet pact and Stalin's 1939 invasion of Finland, he rebounded to become one of London's social lions when Hitler attacked Russia in 1941. A superb p.r. man, Maisky donated the Soviet embassy's iron railing to Britain's wartime scrap drive and was once serenaded with the Internationale by British armament workers. Returning in 1943 to serve as Stalin's Deputy Foreign Minister, Maisky attended the Yalta and Potsdam conferences before finishing his career as an academic specialist in Far East history...
