That impression has been strengthened still more by the fact that the lawmakers have pushed into 1978?an election year for all Congressmen and 33 Senators???some of the rougher fights: Panama Canal treaty ratification, welfare reform, tax reform. Says Massachusetts Democrat Gerry Studds: "We don't really have a great deal to show so far. The big issues have either not been addressed or are unresolved...
Manhattan now boasts 21 discotheques, where such luminaries as Rudolf Nureyev, Dame Margot Fonteyn, Truman Capote, Baby Jane Holzer, Sammy Davis Jr., ex-King Peter of Yugoslavia, Carol Channing, Peter Lawford, Tennessee Williams and Oleg Cassini mix it up with the hip twitchers. Both New York Senators???Jacob Javits and his wife Marion ("My husband and I just love to frug"), and Bobby Kennedy and Ethel ("I can't believe all that action on such a small floor")?make the discotheque scene. Jackie Kennedy, on her occasional visits to Il Mio, does a sedate version of the frug. Adlai...

Senator Simmons declared that if there was to be a textile strike investigation, let it include Massachusetts as well...
...There have been six Jewish U. S. Senators???Philip Judah Benjamin, Louisiana (1853-61); Simon Guggenheim, Colorado (1907-13); Benjamin Franklin Jonas, Louisiana (1879-85) ; Isidor Rayner, Maryland (1904-10) ; Joseph Simon, Oregon (1897-1903) ; David Levy Yulee,* Florida (1845-51 and 1855-61). There were ten Jewish Representatives, no Jewish Senators in the 69th Congress. A Jewish Cabinet officer was Oscar Straus who was Secretary of Commerce & Labor in Roosevelt's Cabinet (1906-09). Probably the highest public office held by a U. S. Jew today is the seat on the U. S. Supreme Court bench occupied by Louis...
