When the United States emerged from World War II as a victor, it began its role as a big power deeply involved in Asian politics. Communist China also appeared, claiming to be a new power center of international politics in Asia. Since the U.S. has kept its concern in this area keen--in terms of seeking better deployment for its national interest, the two powers went very rapidly into rivalry. As is obvious, mutual distrust has ensued...
...really important policy-making responsibilities. Moreover, given the advanced age of the Politburo members, the near future may well witness many new top leaders with only the most limited experience in the problems of decision-making. The frustrations and uncertainties regarding mobility of careers must also be a concern of even younger men. For the ambitious young Chinese in his early twenties, there are only cloudy indicators as to the most profitable path to advance his career. Should he, for example, join the army or the CCP hierarchy? And should he stress Party loyalty or technical competence...
...protest was stated in black-and-white terms. Among some white observers there was concern that the House had perhaps gone too far. They noted that Powell had, after all, been re-elected in November by a 74% majority in a constituency that was fully aware of his record.

Filling the Gap. Despite the new mood of concern in Natchez, however, Mississippi's standards of justice still leave something to be desired. More than a dozen Negroes and civil rights workers have either been murdered or died mysteriously there in the past three years without a single conviction by state courts and, in many cases, without even indictments. Last week the Justice Department, using a combination of old Reconstruction laws and new civil rights measures, none of them truly appropriate for so serious a crime as murder, moved to fill the gap in two of the more notorious...
...Supreme Court held that "what transpires in the courtroom is public property." By 1966, it had banned TV cameras and had deplored news reporting that posed "even the probability of unfairness." The change reflects growing concern over the kind of prejudicial publicity that might sway jurors and influence convictions. Although the court has yet to work out an accommodation between the constitutional rights of free press and fair trial, lawyers are proposing crime-news curbs that leave the U.S. press aghast. The press is now all but accusing the bar of yearning to imitate the British system of jailing errant...
