...resolution still has a long road to travel before it becomes the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. Determined resistance awaits it in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is necessary for passage, and many Senators oppose any measure that will reduce their states' leverage in presidential elections.

It was a huge success and showed him what he could do. "It was the first time all those people met," says Graham. "Ferlinghetti, the Fugs, the Jefferson Airplane, Peter Orlovsky...
...with the Dodge Truck Division for chassis and engines to build $120 million worth of motor homes -self-propelled dwellings that combine the mobility of a car with some of the comforts of home. Such vehicles have grown increasingly popular among affluent U.S. families as a convenient means to travel; go camping, take weekend outings and even long vacations.* Winnebago's sales have roughly doubled in each of the past four years. The company's revenues reached $33 million in the last fiscal year and are expected to top $67 million this year. Earnings increased 100% last year...
