Lady Bird Johnson showed up with a fresh change of pajamas for the majority leader. Maine's Margaret Smith posed daintily for photographers as she tucked herself into a cot (fully clothed) for the night. Wyoming's Gale McGee hauled in a sleeping bag. Wisconsin's Bill Proxmire got himself photographed in his skivvies. At first it almost seemed fun: a visit to the Senate gallery became...

It would require more flight and maintenance crews, more spare parts to keep up with wear and tear, more tankers, enormous quantities of fuel, all adding up to $1 billion a year. But without it, SAC will be vulnerable, and the U.S. will be in danger...
...played-and were soundly beaten-by the All-Blacks, as New Zealand's national team composed of both whites and Maoris is ironically called. This year the All-Blacks are due to play the Springboks in South Africa. When New Zealand's Rugby Union announced that, to spare Maori players embarrassment from apartheid policies, only white members of the All-Blacks would make the trip, all New Zealand was aroused...
