...powers not otherwise delegated to the Federal Government. Tested against that provision alone, it is possible that more than 30% of the treaties made by the U.S. since 1789 might be ruled invalid. Our basic treaties of friendship and commerce, our consular conventions, extradition treaties, migratory bird treaties, road traffic conventions and narcotics control treaties might run afoul of the new wording.

Like most U.S. cities, Fort Worth (pop. 434,000) suffers downtown indigestion. Its business district, boxed in by railroads and the Trinity River, is fed by freeways that carry motorists into a honeycomb, where parking space is inadequate and traffic motion slows to a crawl...

When the Depression hit and traffic was cut in half, the road collapsed under a funded debt of $410 million. Unpaid interest rose to $21.5 million, and the road ran out of working capital. More than a dozen classes of security holders and debtors clamored for recognition of their claims, among them rambunctious Robert R. Young, who had inherited 63% of MoPac's common stock when he bought the Alleghany Corp...
