Interim Appointments Spark Court Test Over Iowa Seats
Gov Harold Hughes faced a looming court showdown over 18 month interim appointments to the highway commission and board of control after Senate refusals. Atty Gen Hultman ruled interim appointees cannot serve without Senate confirmation, making the future of Keir and Conway uncertain as July 4 law changes ban such interim picks. The dispute centers on legality of past interim appointments and the need for clear institutional rules.

Give Them Big Crowds and Italians Love To Make History
Mary McCrary notes the stark culture shock for foreigners in Italy as crowds in Rome reveal the Italian love of togetherness. In St Peter's Square and city streets, locals move as a unified mass with Permesso passes and family focus. Nuns wield crowd control like a flying wedge, while foreigners feel faintly overwhelmed by the communal energy and unyielding social tact.

Chicago offered 450000 but was passed over, prompting criticism of auction-style site selection and calls for party-financed venues and rights sales.
