This campaign of intimidation ran for only a few days before Arizona's Stewart Udall, Democratic leader of the swing group, told Zagri off. "You've got a nerve to go calling my state and telling people I'm voting wrong," he snapped. Zagri brazened it out: ''I'm going to get you in line." Udall exploded as never before in Congress, raked Zagri over until the lobbyist obsequiously agreed that he had voted right. Another Congressman was treated to anonymous threats ("We're going to fix you") on his home and office...
...wrote Editor James Jackson Kilpatrick of the Richmond News-Leader, once one of Dixie's hottest massive-resistance defenders, after last week's primary races for the 140 state legislature seats (132 Democratic).

Passage of Wild Horse Annie's bill seems likely -with one amendment. The Interior Department claims the horses are a potential threat to grazing lands, asked the right to hunt them humanely if the herds get too big. Wild Horse Annie has no objection to that...
...Britain's tight little island, the congestion of people, the spreading of the Welfare State (with its regulations as well as its benefits) and the inherent petty tyranny of multiplying bureaucrats add up to a frustrating experience for a determinedly individualistic nation. Even so doctrinaire a Socialist as the New Statesman's Editor Kingsley Martin grumbled last week: "Because there are too many people, regimentation becomes unavoidable, and so Socialism's basic idea of substituting cooperation for jungle fighting is lost; it becomes merely the demand for equal regimentation...
