PRESIDENT Katz is content with the amount of guidance HVD now operates under: "We don't have any supervising attorneys here-we get them from MDC. We are happy with that situation and I think we do better work for our clients without close supervision," says Katz...
...would be wrong to suppose that the concept of martial law has a positive content with a prescribed set of rules. Martial law is just the right to use soldiers, and the right to use soldiers implies the right to use them as if in time of war. Even in a presumably civil context, the National Guard at Kent State had the legal right to engage in a limited state of war. State governors can justify any expedient tactic directly related to the quelling of disorder, and it makes no difference whether they be reactionaries or politically vulnerable green-horns...
...first rush of impressions brought or cabled home to the U.S. from China last week evoked an image of a society unusually unified and content within itself.

They seemed very content within themselves, content with their lot and sure of themselves, knowing where they are going." He also found that the much-remarked honesty in Communist China is still there. "At one point, someone came down three floors to give Fischbeck a tiny coin worth perhaps a tenth of a cent-his change from a cup of coffee." Chinese life is beset...
