Direct Election of Senators Debate Fades as States Act
Senator Owen urged a constitutional amendment for direct Senate elections, but the issue is now academic. States have already adopted practical methods, with Oregon and others letting voters influence selections through legislatures or primaries, reducing reliance on Congress while preserving state autonomy. Public opinion and constitutional options remain the deciding factors.

The issue hinges on whether voters will support sweeping upper house reform.

A Navy Turret Innovation By Russia And Italy
Russia and Italy plan three gun turrets for new dreadnoughts, replacing the standard two. Russia would mount all main twelve guns in triple turrets, while Italy uses three triples on five turrets and two double turrets.
