...President astonished labor by opting for new federal laws "to deal with strikes which threaten irreparable damage to the national interest," a move clearly encouraged by the New York transit strike. Almost certainly that proposal will mean revisions in the Taft-Hartley Act, which has no teeth when it comes to dealing with walkouts by public employees, and gives the Government no legal leverage to stop a national strike once a mandatory 80-day cooling-off period has expired. On the other hand, Johnson promised to try again for repeal of Tart-Hartley's Section 14b, the celebrated "right...
...would take a long time: the longer terms would not start until after 1972, and would require a constitutional amendment needing two-thirds passage in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. While talking politics, Johnson also asked for federal laws to install "strong teeth and severe penalties" in the uncertain regulations applied by most states to get honest disclosures about campaign contributions.

For the Brooklyn Jewish goil, they got a shikse from Alaska, and so after 708 performances and a gross for the show of $7,800,000, Barbra Streisand left Broadway's Funny Girl, bequeathing the Fanny Brice part to toothsome Mimi Mines, 32. It was a tough act to follow, but Mimi grinned gratefully: "It's easier to follow a good act than a bad one-it's not like this show was a bomb." Neither was Mimi. Everyone of course would think of Barbra, but after...
