Howe, of course, was right. But the tendency, even among local officials who would be the first to defend states' rights, is to follow the formula: Washington proposes, and Washington disposes. Clearly, the cure lies in a redistribution of powers-with more responsibilities assigned to state and local governments and to private enterprise as well. President Johnson likes to apply the phrase "creative federalism" to this partnership-meaning that Washington will furnish the muscle and the money for the nation's vast social progress while local officials expend their energy and ingenuity on making the programs work...
...join the Law Review. Instead, he spent 60 hours a week running his own detective agency, which handled 2,000 cases for criminal lawyers while teaching Bailey his key skill-indefatigable investigation. After law school, Bailey attended Chicago's Keeler Polygraph Institute, then helped an elderly Boston lawyer defend an accused wife killer who had flunked a lie-detector test. Bailey was hired merely to cross-examine the prosecution polygrapher. But during the trial, his boss, 72, collapsed of a heart attack. Bailey, then 27, took over and won the case. After that, he was hired by the four...
Students then took over the building, held a midnight meeting in the ballroom at which Cheit tried to defend use of the police and the table-manning rules, but drew hoots and jeers.

Wooden Birds. Just as in Holland, where Hals and Rembrandt painted citizen companies of harquebusiers, Polish burghers formed shooting fraternities. Their aim was to defend their city walls; more often they were social militias. Their targets were wooden birds atop staffs, a custom recalled in the Cracow fraternity's emblem, which was the gift of Sigismund Augustus in 1565, with its silver cock resplendent in royal crown and symbolically attached by a chain to its perch. Poland has been partitioned out of existence only to re-emerge as a nation, changed again under present-day Communism, but its ancient...
...Jairo Amaris, an assistant professor of Art. Amaris had been hired under an agreement stipulating that none of his work would ever be censored. When his painting was romoved, Amaris took all the rest of his works out of the show. The AAUP will consider whether or not to defend Amaris's freedom from censorship. If it does, the fight will be a long one, and Amaris's nine-month contract will probably be allowed to expire in the meantime. Amaris was generally considered one of the most exciting teachers in the Art department. If he leaves, or is forced...
