Before the Senate minority leader can cast himself in the role of a latter-day James Madison, however, there is a maze of constitutional questions to be negotiated. All but seven of the 33 petitions, for instance, were passed by state legislatures that had not yet been reapportioned to reflect the one-man, one-vote ruling which Dirksen wants to overturn. This has already resulted in a court challenge to the validity of Utah's resolution. Suits elsewhere are likely...
...second Apollo experiment also ran into difficulty. Astronomers at the McDonald Observatory near Fort Davis, Texas, the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, Calif., and the Haleakala Observatory on Maui, Hawaii, were unable to locate the lunar reflector, an arrangement of 100 prisms that they hoped would reflect laser beams from earth. The beams were to be used as a precision measuring tool that would yield, among other things, the exact distance between earth and moon, proof of whether there is really any drift between continents and accurate figures on the earth's wobble. The major reason for the trouble...

The crawling peg would also avoid sharp devaluations and revaluations. It would thus discourage currency speculation because the gains that could be achieved from parity changes would be too small to bother about...
