...historic ruling, upholding a challenge to Georgia's restrictive abortion statute, will permit states to impose only minimal curbs on the right to abortion at will. These might include consent of a physician, licensing of abortion facilities and a ban on late termination of pregnancy.

No decision in the court's history, not even those outlawing public school segregation and capital punishment, has evoked the intensity of emotion that will surely follow this ruling.

...scandal? Well, not really, although the Met is under heavy attack for the seemingly high-handed procedures of Director Thomas Moving in selling off various esteemed pictures without the consent of the curators involved (TIME Oct. 16).

In 1967, Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara was surrounded and detained by a group of students; punishments were handed out by the Administrative Board. Later, a recruiter for the Dow Chemical Company was held in a room in Pierce Hall against his will; here again...
...School Committee voted unanimously in November to oppose the plan. School committeeman Paul Ellison commented: "I would go to jail before I would let a single child be bused without parental consent," even though the plan, as mentioned, does not call for forced busing. "The people will not accept this," stated ex-Committee Committee chairman James Hennigan. "The only solution I can see is the repeal of the Racial Imbalance Law and to start all over again...
