...focus legislative attention on the chief causes of accidents, about which auto experts have little precise data, the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory announced that it will conduct a three-year study of accidents in Buffalo, N.Y. Said Dr. B. J. Campbell, head of the laboratory's accident research division: "We don't want to make a massive allocation of the country's resources to combat an accident cause that maybe ranks only 87th among causes." The study will be financed with $800,000 from the Automobile Manufacturers Association...
Buckley, whose forte is devastating repartee delivered in a droll drawl, intends to conduct a debate with or without Kennedy. Indeed, he keeps writing about Kennedy in his column, "On the Right," carried in 148 papers. Last week he had a piece titled "The Inevitability of Bobby Kennedy," which reported with some humor and without alarm that Bobby is headed for higher things...
...they sought a way to suppress the smut before them. In hot dissent, Justices Hugo Black and " William O. Douglas urged the court for the umpteenth time to quit all censorship on the ground that the First Amendment protects all expression, including obscenity, that does not actually incite antisocial conduct.

...protected by First Amendment guarantees of free speech. In Roth, which upheld a federal antiobscenity statute, the court classified obscenity as a kind of "non-speech" -no longer protected by the familiar test that bars only those words that carry a "clear and present danger" of inciting anti-social conduct. Roth also carefully declared: "Sex and obscenity are not synonymous." And in later cases, the court refused to censor sexual expression unless 1) "the material is utterly without redeeming social importance," 2) "the dominant theme of the material taken as a whole appeals to prurient interest" in the "average" adult...
...Conduct v. Thought. Having reached exactly that conclusion, Justice Brennan last week tried to push the Roth decision, which he also wrote, far closer to a manageable test of conduct rather than thought. At issue in the Ginzburg case were Eros, whose chef-d'oeuvre in the disputed edition was a color portfolio of a white woman and Negro man, both naked, in multiple embraces; Liaison, a sex-front "newsletter" that was a compendium of sex jokes; and The Housewife's Handbook on Selective Promiscuity, a Tucson woman's clinical account of her increased pleasure with unconventional...
