...done that, and of the entire Taft-Hartley law, 14(b) has become the section most odious to labor leaders. As a Congressman, Lyndon Johnson voted for Taft-Hartley and to override President Truman's veto. But last year, as he set out to gather votes from every segment of U.S. society, he made clear to A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany that he would seek repeal of 14(b), saw to it that the pledge was written into the Democratic platform...
Nothing Sacred. The big boost for big-beat music has come, amazingly enough, from the adult world. Where knock-the-rock was once the conditioned reflex of the older generation ("Would you want your daughter to marry a Rolling Stone?"), a surprisingly large segment of 20-to-40-year-olds are now facing up to the music and, what is more, liking it.

The official position of the groups sponsoring the march--as expressed in their petition to be presented to Congress--represents only one segment of a wide spectrum of opposition positions. Four possible means for ending the war will be suggested to Congress but these are only four of a much greater variety of alternatives. If those participating in the march are to make their opposition to the government effective, they must not consider tomorrow's demonstration as a call for merely negative protest. Only...
...pillars. U.S. Senator Hugh Scott (Republican) claims "it desecrates the city's grand design." In agreement are Senator Joseph Clark (Democrat) and Mayor James H. J. Tate. Instead, they propose spending whatever funds are necessary to tunnel the expressway under the area, even though the aboveground one-mile segment as now planned will cost an estimated $35 million. But this is the kind of issue on which honest men may honestly differ. Philadelphia's Urban Renewal Chief Edmund Bacon (TIME cover, Nov. 6), who is as much concerned with esthetic values as any other planner alive, defends...
