Karl E. Case, head tutor in Economics and a section instructor for the course, said yesterday that although Harvard students are more conservative than in past years, libertarian theory stillmight not command enough student interest to produce changes in the course...
...free-speech issue was particularly easy for him. He simply saw no exceptions to the First Amendment's command. With the late Hugo Black, he filed unwavering dissents in sedition and related cases during the McCarthy era, although he condemned Communism's "miserable merchants of unwanted ideas." In the '60s, when even Black balked occasionally at disruptions caused by some protesters, Douglas hewed to his view that dissenting speech could never legally be curtailed.

Underground party members in Spain were bereft of central command during the long exile, necessitating local and regional decision-making. The growth of illegal workers' commissions, dominated by party members over the last fifteen years, confirms the trend. These factory-based councils have ties to the PCE but possess limitless autonomy. Laborers set up the commissions to defend their wage-and-hour interests in a way that the Francoist Sindicacio Nacional does not. The councils have no set programs, no dues and no distinctions are made between members and non-members. The activist membership which the commissions channel into...
