...Chicago's young (1933) quarterly reaches boldly outside the law for such contributors as Economist Friedrich A. von Hayek and Physicist Leo Szilard. Proving that youth is no barrier to getting elders' ears, Chicago's review has been cited in at least ten recent Supreme Court decisions covering everything from prayer to pornography. Among its still-young ex-editors: Connecticut's Senator Abraham Ribicoff, who served on the first edition...
...school, seeks "adventurous" pieces by its own staff, such as a recent scathing study of Kennedy appointees to Southern federal courts. Last week the new issue probed anti-Semitism in big New York law firms, found them far more willing to hire Jews than a decade ago. (A remaining barrier: the "common knowledge" of Jews that they have no chance.)

And Dr. Davis herself concedes: "Maybe it was just coincidence that I got this kind of cancer...
Though WQXR has never subscribed to the NAB code, it is a member in good standing-and the only major one accepting whisky ads. About 80 nonmembers, mostly small stations, have carried commercials for Publicker Industries (Old Hickory, Inver House) since Publicker in 1961 decided to crack the silence barrier. The commercials are usually low-key, aired only at night and never on Sunday. Protests from listeners have been...
