...indictment was not greatly softened by the dismissal, 51 to 45, of a lesser count: that Dodd had double-billed both the Government and private groups for some $1,700 in travel expenses. Many Senators regarded that sum as picayune in comparison with the misappropriated campaign funds. Many others thought that he should have the benefit of the doubt on his contention that the double-billing was the result of sloppy bookkeeping, not dishonesty. The vote may also have been influenced by the contention of Dodd's self-appointed "defender," Louisiana's Russell Long, that if Tom Dodd...
There was something else in the Russian diatribes that made Israel even angrier. "The U.S.S.R. has formulated an obscene comparison between the Israel defense forces and the Hitlerite hordes which overran Europe in the Second World War," Eban said. "There is a flagrant breach of international morality and human decency in this comparison. Our nation never compromised with Hitler Germany. It never signed a pact with it, as did the U.S.S.R. in 1939.

...kamagraphy," and its invention was announced last December by an enterprising Parisian combine headed by Engineer André Cocard, 49, and backed by Master Vintner Alexis Lichine.

Each kamagraph looks as though the artist had painted it by hand. The French call this type of work a "multi-original," because...

I want to be able to share with others the awe of a redwood tree and its inviolability in comparison to a high way; I want to do so without being considered a 'nut.' I want to be free from the compulsion to possess things and people, and to know that others are similarly free. I want to be able to love life enough to value it over all else...
...highly vocal president, Rabbi Maurice Eisendrath, who is a critic of the Viet Nam war, had illegally arrogated the right to speak for all of Reform Judaism on political and social issues. They also objected to the way he takes stands. As an example, they cited his comparison of President Johnson to Attila the Hun- a statement that otherwise has gone unquestioned by U.A.H.C. synagogues. Insisting that he spoke only for himself, Eisendrath angrily replied that the real reason for the break was the conservative trustees' "disagreement with the union's whole program of social action...
