...went so far, in fact, as to offer $33,000 to Harlem Widow Esther James in an effort to clear up his worsening New York court problems, stemming from 1) his conviction in 1963 for libeling her, 2) his refusal to pay the original appeal court judgment of $46,500, and 3) his contempt sentences of 16 months in jail and at least $164,000 in additional damages. The Harlem Democrat also made thinly veiled threats to tattle on his "beloved" fellow Congressmen. But it was only after the press conference that Powell did indeed make a fantastic disclosure...
...intricate are Japan's election laws that a candidate for the Diet must wade through a 200-page paperback manual of dos and don'ts before he dares to make a speech. If he campaigns by car, he is limited to a "short, simple appeal" such as "Please vote for me." If he campaigns by sea or river, he is restricted to one boat. He may make only 60 speeches during the three-week campaign, no more than three of them on the radio. At his campaign headquarters he may serve nothing stronger than "tea and light cookies...
...looking back on sunnier days. Love Vibrations. Lloyd is the newest prophet of New Wave jazz - the freeform explorations made familiar by such saxmen as John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman.

But a judge would have to set forth in writing his reasons for believing that the defendant might be likely to flee; the defendant could then file an appeal to a higher court. The same goes for pretrial release and for the new law's provision permitting judges to impose the conditions for release, such as requiring the accused to report to the police daily. But the law has a key gap: except in capital cases and after...
...want to fight in Vietnam to get an exemption. We should begin to organize all people potentially affected by the draft, as well as those unaffected but who oppose the draft, around the slogan NO DRAFTEES TO VIETNAM. A campaign such as this could have a real mass appeal, bringing about the kind of unity between students and non-students which could never result from a drive to abolish the 2-S deferment. We should support those 3 non-students, Samas, Mora, and Johnson, white, Puerto-Rican, and Negro working class youth in their refusal to go to Vietnam...
