...wrote Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan in a censorship case last summer, "is a great and mysterious motive force in human life." Following the lead dictated by that statement, and citing that case (Roth v. U.S., Alberts v. California-TIME, July 8), the Supreme Court last week reversed the decision of a federal circuit court of appeals upholding the Chicago ban of the French movie The Game of Love...

The heart of their problem was best illustrated by the fouled sparkplugs brought along by the four biggest of them: bellowing Dave Beck, newly harassed (he cried) by some absurd vendetta of the income tax people; Minneapolis Teamster Vice President Sidney L. Brennan, convicted of accepting a bribe; Western Conference Chair man Frank Brewster, convicted of contempt of Congress; and, with topmost billing in the news, James Riddle Hoffa, chairman of the Central States Conference of Teamsters, struggling to keep his tail gate from the teeth...
