The piece argues open housing protections gave crucial federal rights, while acknowledging the British Conservatives stall for perfection on race reform, risking an election setback as the issue endures.
Twenty lawmakers who challenged airport extra fees on liquor and films defend their records while critics accuse their move of masking a fight against fare reductions.

Rockefeller frequents Washington, owning a Foxhall Road house and returning since World War I era diplomacy, yet his national prospects have repeatedly ebbed as his party's political fortunes shifted and officials questioned his New Deal stance. The piece cites past refusals and disillusionments, including Acheson's veto on Byrnes, illustrating Rockefeller's rocky path amid shifts in power and party lines.
James Reston analyzes the 1968 race focusing on Nelson Rockefeller and Hubert Humphrey as the last viable cross party options.

A fragment discussing intense conflict and polarization in American race relations, noting the middle ground is squeezed as extremists push their agendas and threaten social cohesion.
