The Week

Club owners in San Francisco’s North Beach area register a Beadle Bumblish complaint that, when advertising for topless dancers, they are forbidden by federal equal opportunity laws to specify female.

Twice in one week Nelson Rockefeller made good sense in public. The first time occurred at a joint congressional conference on full employment, where the Vice President took a swipe at the Humphrey-Hawkins bill, which calls not only for full employment through public works but also for planned production quotas and political control of the Federal Reserve. Congress should legislate no such constraints on the free enterprise system, said Rockefeller; instead, it should encourage that system, through such devices as a restructuring of the tax laws and incentives for plant modernization. Then, several days later, speaking in Paris, Rockefeller remarked that the U.S. State Department has every right to warn European governments of the consequences of their taking Communists into their governments, and denied that such warnings constitute interference in the affairs of foreign states.
