...during the longest filibuster in history, still faces substantive amendment under a bipartisan agreement achieved by Republican Everett Dirksen. Civil rights groups, without being specific, claim that it is too weak. The bill's opponents, without being specific, insist that it is so strong as to ruin the framework of the Republic. Herewith, what the civil rights bill, including the Dirksen amendments, would...
Patently contrived, the plot gave Author Bagnold a framework on which to hang some illuminating asides about "the astonishment of life" and life's wasted possibilities.

In addition to the popularly-elected National Assembly, Mendes would see a second house composed of the representatives of labor unions, professional organizations, and consumer groups. Corporatism has been unpopular in France since the efforts of the wartime--and collaborationist--Vichy governments in that direction; but Mendes contends that corporatism is dangerous only when it is given complete control of the state, or when the institutional structure fails to register changes in economic realities...
