...convention calls for the prompt return of hijacked airliners and passengers. Most airline officials would like to strengthen the agreement by providing for the extradition and severe punishment of hijackers as a matter of course. Even so, any country can get around extradition by granting hijackers "political asylum"-as Cuba has done regularly. Only last week, hijackers bound for Castro's island boldly seized two Ecuadorian military transports on a flight out of Quito. When one crewman put up a fight they shot him dead...

Countries like Cuba, Czechoslovakia and India, feeling unease about his four-letter talk and freewheeling ways, asked him to leave. Ginsberg learned enough to decide that strong drugs were not necessary for him. But with Talmudic thoroughness, he compiled a most impressive file and bibliography on marijuana, and has since arduously campaigned for its legalization. As a pacifist, he has crusaded for an immediate end to the war in Viet Nam. As a lecturer and reader, he is in constant demand at progressive campuses across the nation, where...
