Opaque Logic. After his cover was destroyed by his 1967 court appearance, Itkin and his present wife were placed in protective custody. Later, the Government provided the same protection for Itkin's former wife and their four children. As he finished testimony in a case last spring, Itkin was warned by parties unknown that if he made any further appearances, his wife's two sons by a previous marriage would be "crippled." Itkin naturally expected the usual protection to be granted to the two boys, Scot Hersh, 12, and Bret, 11. But so far this has been refused...
...bulldozer and the birds is a suit filed by an odd coalition of six conservation groups and the N.A.A.C.P. Seeking a federal court injunction, they charge that the golf course would be de facto segregated because few local Negroes could afford the $100-a-year membership, plus fees.

In dissent, one of Haynsworth's fellow judges called the situation "a truly shocking example of the law's delays." The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed...

Risking his job, Chancellor Young backed up his professors, calling the Angela Davis case "a problem of the greatest gravity-perhaps the most serious yet in a series of difficulties which have confronted this academic community...
General Francisco Pizarro (Robert Shaw) was, the way Screenwriter Philip Yordan tells it, obsessed by his own bastardy. As in the case of T. E. Lawrence of Arabia, the burden of his illegitimacy weighed so heavily that it drove him to deeds of improbable and even reckless heroism. In the bizarre personage of King Atahuallpa (Christopher Plummer) Pizarro encounters a man of his own kind, an implacable and almost superhuman force. Atahuallpa gives short shrift to the rabid Catholic missionaries in Pizarro's party and, looking into the explorer's eyes, says tellingly: "Their...
