...stop four armed skyjackers from boarding an Eastern Airlines jet (see THE NATION). If airline employees and passengers -and Government agencies, too-are properly educated about skyjackers. Psychiatrist Hubbard believes, tragedies like the one in Houston can be avoided. Skyjackers, says Hubbard, are not normal men who can be dealt with as if they were ordinary criminals; in most cases they are paranoid, suicidal schizophrenics to whom the threat of death is not a deterrent but a stimulus to crime. Thus Hubbard believes that the Federal Government is endangering air travelers by pursuing its belligerent policy toward skyjackers. In fact...

Two weeks ago, his government arrested and jailed the organizers of a small dissident group that had been formed less than a month before to fight the introduction of a one-party system.

...Republicans dealt with the young by taking in only the smiling, agreeable children of the Wad, showing America how patriotic and respectful some kids could be, and simply ignoring the "radicals" of Flamingo Park. The police successfully diffused the demonstrations by arresting few and beating up practically no one. With the Republicans in town, Flamingo Park became nothing but a carnival, an adjunct to the convention skillfully portrayed by anxious-to-please newsmen as an orgy of disruption for the folks back home. Every obscenity hurled meant more votes from the Wad; every egg on the dress of a delegate...
