IRONSIDE (NBC, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). Raymond (Perry Mason) Burr stars as Robert T. Ironside, a paraplegic who serves as a civilian consultant to the San Francisco Detective Bureau. For a starter, he takes a crossword collection of puzzling clues and fills out the solution to a race-track robbery. Premi...
Certain that they had scant chance of beating the ticket of Chief of State Thieu and Premier Ky, the ten civilian candidates for President claimed fraud almost from the moment the campaign started. A dozen U.S. Senators, led by Robert Kennedy and Jacob Javits, echoed their claim that the election campaign was a "farce" and a "charade." It was to counter such senatorial critics that President Johnson hastily assembled 22 U.S. observers and dispatched them to Viet Nam as poll watchers...
Though it is the first exit explored by many draft-eligible men, conscientious objection is often the last, desperate choice. For even if he succeeds in becoming a C.O., a man must perform two years of alternative service, usually as a civilian hospital orderly or Army medic.

He was held for trial by a military tribunal rather than a civilian criminal court. His arrest brought immediate protests from the French Ambassador, screams from the French press, and a personal appeal from De Gaulle. The Human Rights Commissions of France, Italy and Belgium dispatched observers to plead his case. His father, who is a lawyer, his mother, who is a Paris city councilwoman, and his childhood nurse all flew to the Bolivian...
