When the bill was called on the Senate floor last week, Fulbright doggedly introduced a 3% interest amendment. But Republicans pulled him up short a second time. They argued that the lower interest rate was a short-term rate unsuitable to long-term loans, defeated the amendment (41-40) in a straight party vote. But when the bill had been shaped to suit them, 20 Republicans shifted, helped pass (60-26) and send to the House the measure making loans available for small-town schools, hospitals, sewers, parks and recreational facilities...
...Jersey's Governor Robert Baumle Meyner knows that a presidential prospect can look like Cinderella, but he must also have a sure touch with the fairy godmother's political wand. Bob Meyner was Cinderellegant last November; he swept to a second term at Trenton with the highest vote total (1,000,000) ever registered by a New Jersey Democrat (TIME, Nov. 18).

In isolation but still firmly in control of his own show, Tito last week allowed himself to be unanimously re-elected President of Yugoslavia for a third term of four years. In a speech before Parliament, the 65-year-old Tito tried hard to stay on his tightrope between East and West; he followed the Soviet line on ending nuclear bomb tests, and, in the next breath, praised the U.S. for the economic and military...
...pleasing. "One," says O'Malley, "was between a cemetery and a large body of water. I pointed out that we weren't likely to get many customers from either place." With $5,000,000 in his pocket and no place to spend it, with only a short-term lease on Ebbets Field and no place else to go, O'Malley began an unabashed scramble for a new playground...
