...tame talkathon is directed against a civil rights bill that would make it a federal crime to commit violence-including murder-against members of racial and religious minorities trying to exercise their civil rights. The bill, already approved by the House, was the Senate's "pending business" when the current session opened. With teams of Southern Senators sharing the speaking, rarely heard by more than one or two colleagues, the bill is still pending...
Tight Budget. Compared with the vast Johnsonian programs of the past, it was pretty tame stuff. At that, even such proposals as model cities and housing are unlikely to get the funds the President wants. He described his budget as a "tight" one, though it calls for an increase in outlays from $175.6 billion to $186 billion.* Most of the $10.4 billion increase will, in fact, go for defense costs and mandatory increases in such programs as social security, aid to farmers and veterans, Medicare...

Beautifully dressed, learned and well-spoken (the Prince of Darkness being a gentleman), Satan is amused by their respectable atheism. To teach them a lesson about his powers-and about the reality of the supernatural-he turns soothsayer and predicts that the editor will be beheaded...
