An Associated Press report details Mike H and Mike N, compulsive gamblers facing debt, job loss, and family strain. Gamblers Anonymous began in 1957 in Los Angeles with over 5,000 members in 160 chapters. The program treats gambling as a sickness that cannot be cured, only arrested, emphasizing self help and lifelong meeting attendance.

Bill To Help Schools Desegregate Faces Senate House Deadlock
President Nixon’s plan to provide 1.5 billion dollars to desegregate schools stalls in a Senate House stalemate. House members reject the Senate’s broader, court‑order independent approach, warning it would force massive busing, racial quotas, and districtwide integration. The original measure, limited to desegregating under court orders HEW plans or voluntary efforts, is unlikely to pass.
