...third proposal, the Radcliffe Union of Students, would not differ from RUA in its basic structure. However, it includes a clause which would provide for sole jurisdiction over changes in the student government. According to the constitution of both RGA and RUA, the College Council has a veto over a change in the constitution. The Union also provides for four Radcliffe students to sit on the Radcliffe College Council, Radcliffe's equivalent to the Harvard Corporation. The students vote automatically "only on matters affecting students directly." On other matters they would vote only by majority approval of the Radcliffe College...
...elections. His Foreign Secretary, George Brown, has proved a recurring source of embarrassment, as he did again by rudely accusing Sunday Times Publisher Lord Thomson of "great disservice to the country." Common Market entry seems as distant as ever; Charles de Gaulle has just hinted that he will veto Britain once more. No wonder Wilson was looking for a political diversion.

Couve then attained a new pinnacle in diplomatic...
...record numbers to support the bills, pushed a legislative ploy to accomplish it. The quota legislation ended up in Louisiana Democrat Russell Long's Senate Finance Committee as riders on a bill raising social security benefits 12.5%. The reasoning was that President Johnson would be loath to veto the social security provisions. Jubilantly, Oscar R. Strackbein, who as chairman of the Nationwide Committee for Import-Export Policy is the chief lobbyist for high tariffs and has been around Washington longer than many a legislator, predicted that this time trade restrictions would be adopted...
