Huberman told an audience of about 75 people at the Kenaedy School of Government that although the People's Republic's demand that the U.S. renounce Taiwan is a diplomatic obstacle, relations between the two countries are slowly moving towards normalization...

Their protest did not prevent a sellout. Earlier, the Star had hurdled another obstacle: a demand by the Communist Morning Star for a court order barring the new paper from sowing confusion among the laboring classes by appropriating its stellar name. The judge lost no time denying the motion. Said he, quite accurately: "Only a moron in a hurry would be misled...
