...more dangerous challenge came from the hard-line military officers who backed the coup against leftist President João Goulart 20 months ago. They took bitter issue with the President's determination to honor the results of the October gubernatorial elections in eleven states-including Guanabara (Rio), where the surprise winner was an old-time politician whom the military has been grilling about Communist ties' Castello Branco reacted by shutting down a far-rightist military group known as LIDER, then bolstered his strength at the First Army's huge base outside Rio by putting...
Unfolding Technique. Last summer Amsterdam led 30 law students through 250 counties in eleven Southern states to analyze a 25-year collection of 2,600 rape cases-a major study of Southern "dual justice." Last spring Amsterdam also produced a memorable 119-page article in the Penn law review on the "removal" of civil rights cases from state to federal courts.

Bettina succeeded to the eleven-member board that runs F.S.M.'s muchdiminished reincarnation, the Free Student Union...
...QUATERBACK: Rick Norton, 22, Kentucky, 6ft. 1 in., 1961bs. Playing for a team that started out like a lion (with victories over Missouri and Mississippi) and wound up like a lamb (losing to Houston and Archrival Tennesee), Norton completed 113 out of 214 passes for 1,893 ards and eleven touchdowns. He injured a knee in Kentucky's next-to-last game, had to undergo an operation. The bad knee makes Norton a questionable commodity, but he is still "the best...
