Twin Goals. "I make no claim to wear the Kennedy mantle," the Senator said, although he then went on to cite the Kennedy name nine times during his 15-minute speech. "I believe deeply in the twin goals for which Robert Kennedy gave his life-an end to the war in Viet Nam and a passionate commitment to heal the divisions in our own society." His campaign program is not significantly different from McCarthy's. McGovern has strongly opposed the war since...
...emerged from a grocery and was challenged by two cops. "Hey, come here," commanded one, grabbing his arm. "Get yourself off this corner right now." When Stewart replied that he was there to buy canned milk, the cop spat, "Don't go getting smart." Stewart and eight witnesses claim that he was grappled into the squad car and pounded with night stick, fist and flashlight. Subsequent photos show Stewart's nose broken, eyes swollen nearly shut on a puffy face, the back of his head cratered by deep open wounds. Stewart received a probationary sentence for loitering...
Rudolf Nureyev may call himself a stateless person since his defection from Russia seven years ago, but that didn't stop Uncle Sam from clamping a claim on him.

But Hahn's former coworker, Physicist Lise Meitner, had no such hesitation. Hearing of the experiment in exile in Sweden, she not only proclaimed that Hahn and Strassmann had achieved nuclear fission, but also calculated that each atom of uranium had released 20 million times as much energy as a comparable amount...
Constructivism began in Russia as a spidery brand of pure and formal abstraction. Some proclaim Naum Gabo as its founder; some argue that his brother, Antoine Pevsner, has an equal claim; and some urge the case of Painter Kasimir Malevich. Now Stockholm's Modern Museum has mounted an exhibit of paintings, photographs and models designed to show that Vladimir Tallin (1885-1953) was the most constructive constructivist...
