Even some Republicans who had stood with the Administration were discomfited. James Pearson of Kansas, who voted for both nominees, said: "I do not recall a single discussion or comment, either public or private, by a single Senator, which would warrant the President's conclusion." Minority Leader Hugh Scott was privately furious at the Administration's handling of the case. Publicly, he said: "The Senate is anxious to support the President. I stand ready to help muster that support and urge the nomination of an individual with impeccable credentials...
...proposal to allot $600 to help the state root out a blight called pine blister rust went down because, as one man said: "We can do it better, and for nothing." One item on the "warrant," or agenda, suggested replacing Mount Vernon's 22 conventional street lights with 17 mercury-vapor lights to provide better illumination. When the first selectman explained that the change would increase the monthly electric bill by $25.90, a resident shouted: "Forget it!" It was unanimously voted down...
...days later, 300 police, fortified with bazookas, flamethrowers, machine guns, dynamite, a tank, and an armed helicopter, visited the Panther center in Los Angeles at 4:30 a. m. to issue an 18-page "search-warrant."

On one occasion a patrolman ordered a commune car towed away for violating an ordinance against parking more than 72 hours. He claimed that he had placed a stone on one of the tires, and it had not been dislodged in five days. The charge collapsed after it was shown that the car had been involved in a traffic violation...
...Americans and two other Italians), some superb cinema squeezes thurough. The marriage of Alfio Conti's dazzling photography with nicely chosen cuts of John Fahey, the Grateful Dead, the Stones, the Youngbloods, Pink Floyd, and Kaleidoscope is consistently right. Two nonverbal scenes in particular are so overwhelming as to warrant sitting through the whole movie. Both are fantasy projections of the heroes. While Daria and Mark make love in a Mojave riverbed (and it is fairly anti-social to do it in that much dirt), more and more lovers seem to materialize all over the desert basin until...
