...Southern-bloc freshman Democrats differ greatly. Oklahoma's Jed Johnson is 25, while Iowa's John Hansen is the oldest at 63. Wisconsin's John Race is a machinist and New York's James Hanley is a mortician. California's John V. Tunney, son of the ex-heavyweight boxing champion, is a muscular 205-pounder; and Hawaii's Patsy Mink, the prettiest of the lot, is a petite 5 ft. 1. But they have one thing in common: all are in President Johnson's political debt. Explains Indiana's Lee Hamilton...
...Service's agents used wiretaps and even more sophisticated instruments of snoopery to get evidence against tax dodgers, both real and imagined. "Neither I nor my closest assistants knew until quite recently of departures from the Service's prescribed policies," he told Missouri Democrat Edward V. Long, chairman of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee investigating federal encroachments on citizens' privacy.

Further away from production (perhaps seven years) but potentially more important is Chevrolet's prototype of a turbine-powered truck, the Turbo Titan III. Its engine is lighter, quieter and longer-lasting (350,000 miles v. 250,000) than conventional diesels, but fuel bills are costlier. Among its many innovations: "dial steering" by which a driver guides his truck with two small wheels mounted on a panel in front of him, similar to the "wrist-twist" system now being tested by Mercury. Chrysler Corp. is field-testing turbine cars but is undecided whether to market them...
