...Unkindest Cutters. But what fed the headlines more than Democratic gags and diatribes was the Republican panic. G.O.P. candidates all but trampled Charlie Wilson in their rush for the nearest exit. Said Kentucky's Republican Senator Cooper: "Inexcusable, and I criticize it with all my strength." Said Massachusetts' Saltonstall: "Unfair!" New York's Ives and New Jersey's Case turned their backs on Charlie Wilson. In South Bend, Ind., hard hit by Studebaker layoffs, Republican Congressional Candidate Shep Crumpacker demanded his resignation.

Said a Kansas City barber, "It looks like they're saving up an extra quarter's worth of hair before they come in." Waitresses complained of smaller tips...
...isthmian strip a kind of welfare-state Elysium. But last week Elysium looked a little more like the good old U.S.A. Before leaving for its recess, Congress had enacted a law decreeing that the Zone's Government employees, like federal workers elsewhere, must pay regular income taxes. Unkindest cut of all for the Zonians: the tax was made retroactive...
