...Supreme Court's recent tendency to "balance" the interests served by a statute v. free speech. Draft cards are vital to running the draft, said the Appellate Court. They backstop lost records and help control evaders. The need to retain them takes precedence over any alleged right to burn them. Holmesians might be troubled, but the decision hardly suppressed the right to dissent. David Miller and "those who agree with him," said the court, "remain free, as indeed they should be, to criticize national policy as they desire by the written or spoken word; they are simply not free...
Incense has become a smell celebre in the L.A. area: Loyola University now fines students who burn it in dormitories; and at a West Los Angeles high school, a girl who lit some in the ladies' room was sent to the fire chief to be lectured. Yet the pungent odor is likely to linger on; legend has it that it masks the fumes of marijuana...
...days swing onward, galumph-galumph, students leap from their carrels out into the snowless Yard ("I am not a prodigious leaper, I am a bird").

Foreign Minister Chen Yi, considered a Mao man, was also attacked. When Reuters attempted to file a report...
...produced only 37 air-to-air "kills"-27 of them against the enemy. Uninterested in dogfighting, the North Vietnamese prefer to harass U.S. fighter-bombers on their runs over the North, attempting by feints, forays and cannon fire to make the Americans jettison their bombloads short of target or burn extra fuel in evasive maneuvers. Last week the U.S. set an aerial ambush to end that harassment-and in the process chopped Ho Chi Minh's air arm off at the elbow. Final tally: destruction of nine MIGs, representing nearly half of the North's best aircraft...
