IMAGINE the United States to be angered by the advent of a left-wing government in Norway," Britain's New Statesman magazine suggested last week. "This government is sharply told that the internal reforms which it plans are not its private affair, but also concern its allies. It is advised to curb the local press, and a manifesto by a group of writers and scientists is described as intolerable. Anxiety is expressed over the ease with which Russian tourists cross the frontier, which - a Note suggests - would be better guarded by U.S. troops. Though the Norwegians claim that they...
...whole affair was particularly trying for Fortas, who could not very well answer back. In his only public comment, he noted, only half-facetiously, that his "anger and outraged silence" might cause ulcers. The ulcers are likely to proliferate when the Senate reconvenes.

...pressures from within and without must at times seem all but over whelming to mixed couples, and the danger of emotional damage can be considerable. Georgia Herrick, 26, an editorial assistant in Manhattan, blames herself for the breakup of her own six-months'-love affair with a Negro. "In the beginning," she said, "I was trying to prove something to myself, a reaffirmation of the liberal beliefs I had been brought up under." The beliefs didn't carry her far enough. The one time that her black beau took her to a Negro hangout, she found "the language...
