...involved in security cases-to the point where many a sober-minded observer feared that the public interest was being jeopardized. But last week, in a pair of 5-4 decisions, the Supreme Court gave clearer focus to two of the most controversial of its earlier security-case rulings, brought the conflict between individual rights and public interest into better balance. The then-and-now of the court's security decisions...
...last week's decisions sharply narrowed the scope of Nelson. The case was brought before the Supreme Court by one Willard C.Uphaus, head of a pacifist, left-wing organization called World Fellowship, Inc., who had refused to produce a list of guests at a fellowship summer camp when asked for it by New Hampshire's Attorney General during an investigation authorized by the state legislature.

But last month, an hour after the grenade blast, the crowds on the Rue d'Isly were as thick as ever; most Europeans looked upon the wreckage...
...provision for paying off retainers (and creditors), began denouncing Feisal as a penny pincher. King Saud himself took off on a tour among the desert sheiks, paying out blood money (sums Arabs owe for hurting, killing or maiming one another), passing out bank notes in the grand manner. This brought him squarely into conflict with Crown Prince Feisal, who is trying to substitute a modern budget for the royal private purse. Stiffly the King demanded fresh funds to replenish his overdraft, grown to a reported $30 million. As stiffly, Feisal refused...
