...ethics. The concern ranges over the whole spectrum of society, from student violence and changing sex habits to venality among public officials and conflicts of interest in the business world. In his latest survey for TIME, Louis Harris has undertaken a study of moral attitudes among Americans in an effort to illuminate the changing U.S. moral climate. The results produce ample evidence that, despite considerable indignation at what they believe to be unjust, Americans in general are far more permissive about morals than they were only a few years...
Interest in pornography has declined markedly since Denmark's carte blanche began, and sales of all forms of blue stuff have correspondingly declined. Says Minister of Justice Knud Thestrup, who led the effort to legalize pornography across the board: "Publishers who printed the books tried to counter falling sales by price reductions, but even this was not successful." One of those publishers is Stig Vendelkjaer, whose titles include I, a Woman. "I have 500,000 unsold books in stock," he complains. "Heaven knows how I shall ever get rid of them."

...contrasting theory, of course, holds that the U.S. effort in Viet Nam has demonstrated that "wars of liberation" cannot succeed cheaply and has stiffened anti-Communist sentiment along China's rim. Some U.S. officials believe that a new U.S. policy would vitiate these benefits by handing Mao a "success" against the U.S. and seeming to signal a lessening of American firmness throughout Asia. Advocates against change also argue that a softer U.S. line would help Maoism recover from its self-inflicted domestic wounds, and would eventually lead the U.S. to break its commitment to Taiwan...
Bringing the court to such isolated outposts is an expensive, exhausting proposition. TIME Correspondent Richard Duncan, who accompanied Morrow on one leg of his most recent trip, was impressed by the huge amount of flying and effort necessary to hear cases. This particular 2½-day tour involved flying 1,800 miles to hear four minor cases. The administration of justice in the Northwest costs about $600,000 a year, not a little of which goes for chartered planes. The Canadian government is willing to spend the money in an effort to treat the Eskimo the same as any other...
