That confidence had been shaken was proved in November, when a Democratic administration was elected in Islip for the first time in 32 years, by a 2-1 margin. Republicans were overturned in two neighboring towns as well. Last month Conlon was indicted on charges of bribery and resigned from his state tax job. Kuss was also indicted on the same charges; McGowan and several other Republicans have been ousted from both county and party jobs. There was some grumbling that Publisher Bill Moyers, late of the White House, had launched the investigation to embarrass Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller...
Wilson was clearly shaken by the challenge, but in a head-cracking emergency Cabinet meeting, he managed to force his will. He then assured Com mons, while Brown sat in a sullen, cross-armed slouch, that he had backing "as a whole" against the arms sales. The rumors continued that Brown, whose rambunctious social behavior has never seemed to bother Wilson, was not long for the Cabinet, even though such a move would split the party down the middle. Wilson's political stock also waned when he prearranged parliamentary support for continuing the ban-the first time in recent...
...criteria for the patient's recovery all seemed favorable. But after 6½ hours, the heart suddenly stopped. There had been no time for the rejection mechanism to intrude-that takes days or weeks, and is, besides, less likely to be severe in infants.

The autopsy indicated no surgical error; microscopic findings, which may disclose the actual cause of death, will...
After three years of staggering losses that have earned it the dubious distinction of No. 1 money loser in West Germany, Salzgitter AG, the government-owned steel giant slumbering in the strip next to the East German border, is going to be shaken up. A plan approved by the Bonn Cabinet foresees mergers of its component parts with private industry and, if need be, the shutdown of unprofitable plants. In 1966, on sales of $800 million, Salzgitter suffered a net loss of $45 million...
...bloody ending is as inevitable as the climax of a Greek tragedy; yet to most audiences it comes as a shock, and there is usually a hushed, shaken silence to the crowds that trail out of the theaters. The reason is not simply the cinematic perfection of the death scene. It is also caused by the fact that Bonnie and Clyde are what Warren Beatty calls "ordinary people," whose curiously appealing lower-middle-class normality emerges between crimes -Bonnie's perpetual avian bickering with Buck's wife, the Barrow brothers' spirited roughhouse chaff. They kill...
