Concerted Conspiracy. The second legal attack came before a three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, where a battery of civil rights lawyers attempted to invoke an 1866 Reconstruction statute empowering federal courts to appoint special U.S. commissioners to police areas where citizens are being denied their rights. Judge Mize had thrown the case out of his court last July, and the lawyers were appealing...
...will be up to Minnesota's Democratic Governor Karl Rolvaag to appoint someone to complete the remaining two years of Humphrey's Senate term. Rolvaag could resign and take the job himself, but he is well aware that voters often show their displeasure later at such self-promotion.

Party harmony, though, has been assured at least through this Tuesday. Peabody has agreed to be cooperative about his lame-duck appointments, Bellotti has agreed to be cooperative when Peabody tries to appoint his staff to various judgeships, and Joe Gargan, Kennedy's cousin, has been named Bellotti's campaign manager...
