...cloture vote was three short of the number needed to stop debate. The measure, billed as a compromise between Dirksen and liberals, would have made discrimination illegal in two-thirds of the nation's housing action rather than 97 per cent as the original bill provided. Still Dirksen failed to deliver; he could produce only three new votes for cloture including himself...
...people with psychology or soc rel backgrounds generally do not make the best case-aide workers . . . they're anxious to apply their theories where theoretical knowledge is almost an impediment. Total naivete is worse, however. Some students start working from voyeuristic interest, but that quickly drops out. Adequate supervision stops that.

In addition to restaurants, banks, a post office, movie theaters, skating rinks and often a free auditorium for club meetings or amateur plays, the centers entice auto-borne families with a busy schedule of attractions. There are fashion shows and symphony concerts, pumpkin-judging contests and senior proms, reptile-club snake exhibits and "petting zoos" (for animals tame enough for tots to touch). Porpoises sometimes frolic in the 80-ft. pool...
