...more than three weeks Arnold and McCall talked to disk jockeys and teenagers, practiced bop talk around the office. When they first tried the routine on Brigadier General Joseph C. Moffitt, commanding officer of the Colorado Air Guard (the 140th Fighter-Bomber Wing), he didn't quite dig the parradiddle. "He thought we had flipped our beanies. He was real square." But when he heard the first tape recording, the general "was real sent. He felt them...

Then the bird lovers of Madrid's S.P.C.A. stepped in, flooding the city with leaflets quoting St. Francis of Assisi, who liked his birds on the wing and not the skillet.

One suspects that behind the Senator's oratory lies the same isolationism which has marked his wing of the GOP for years, that the amendment is simply a bigger and better version of the wild attacks on the State Department. Unable to succeed straightforwardly, Bricker and his colleagues have launched an oblique attack, seeking to abolish foreign entanglements by abolishing the power to make them. They ignore...
