...practice of raiding homes of mothers on welfare to see whether there is a man around. If even a casual lover is flushed, he may be designated a "substitute father," which can disqualify the family for welfare aid. The raids ae conducted without search warrants or voluntary consent. Earlier this year, after Social Worker Benny Max Parrish refused to go on one, the California Supreme Court ruled that pre-dawn raids aimed at discovering a "man in the house" are unconstitutional. The California ruling may prompt challenges to such raids in other states. In Alabama a federal suit has been...
Under Ramsey Clark's guidelines, all federal agencies and departments-including military intelligence units-must get permission to bug from the Attorney General. And, said an aide, he is not likely to be "terribly permissive." Except in national-security cases, or with the consent of one of the parties, the memorandum forbids tapping of telephones or electronic probes that involve physically trespassing into a closed room. Left unclear by the memorandum's cautious wording was whether such sophisticated bugs as the "detectaphone," which can hear through walls, may be used by federal agents.

...summit off, he has at least a fighting chance to convince the leftist leaders-who are, after all, under pressure from Russia-to listen to reason.

Many teachers are still afraid of getting into trouble with trustees or families. Some schools require the parents' written consent before children may attend the classes or lectures. But school systems with a diversity of religious groupings are launching experimental programs. New York City's begins next September, Chicago's started last winter, and 400-odd others are under way. This year, for the first time, the Federal Government is awarding two grants specifically in the field...
...late '50's and early '60's, Preminger turned to social spectacle (Anatomy of a Murder, Exodus, Advice and Consent, The Cardinal). His latest movie, Hurry Sundown, has in fact prompted many critics to suggest that what Preminger did for the Jew in Exodus and for the Catholic in The Cardinal--whatever that is--he is now doing for the American Negro. But viewed as a picture about race relations, Hurry Sundown is meaningless and banal. The great social dilemmas of the age have somehow passed Otto Preminger by the way, and his perceptions seem no longer relevant...
