...upset Richard Nixon in his drive for the G.O.P. nomination, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller must combine near-solid support of moderate-to-liberal Republicans with a strong showing in the polls. Last week the poll sters produced a mixed bag of returns. Louis Harris found Rocky lagging be hind both Democratic candidates and nearly tied with Nixon, but Gallup showed him leading both Nixon and Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and just behind a surprisingly strong Senator Eugene McCarthy...
...Sirhan in Los Angeles, might all be cogs in a single, stupendous murder machine. The killers, Capote suggested on NBC's Tonight show, might all have been intensively trained, brainwashed triggermen of a type envisaged by Novelist Richard Condon in The Manchurian Candidate; their purpose could be to drive the U.S. to its knees by assassinating public persons-a theory, Capote claimed, that was once expounded by 19th century Theosophist Helena Blavatsky. (Sirhan, Capote noted, asked for a copy of Madame Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine soon after his arrest...
...recurrence of full-scale civil disorders, Charles de Gaulle cracked down hard. After conferring with his ministers, he banned eleven student revolutionary groups, barred street demonstrations for the duration of the campaign, and ordered the expulsion of troublemaking foreigners; 154 have so far been deported.

Workshops at the convention suggested a variety of possibilities, ranging from a concentration on "self-defense and internal security" to "organizing G.I.s" and "forming chapters at backward conservative campuses." If there was one common new goal it was a drive to expand S.D.S. influence in the nation's high schools. The Madison, Wis., chapter will try to do so this summer by publishing a state-wide underground newspaper aimed at teenagers, sending a "radical rock-'n'-roll band" to tour youth-recreation spots. It even hopes...
...Authority. Goren insists that he is an "innovator" rather than a "reformer." Among his innovations, though, are decisions that to many other Orthodox rabbis seem to be in open contravention of Halakah. As chief military chaplain, he allowed his troops to work and fight on the Sabbath, and even drive trucks if it was necessary for the security of the state. Although suicide is a sin for Jews, Goren also ruled that captured soldiers could kill themselves rather than risk revealing military secrets under torture. He also believes that Israel's Independence Day should be regarded as a religious...
