Last year the court gave local jurisdictions the right to apply their own standards in determining what is illegally obscene. But this year it unanimously overturned one such local ruling while upholding another. Now the way is open for an endless string of smut cases to be appealed to the Supreme Court. In school desegregation disputes, the court has seemed ambivalent, particularly on the question of busing. After one decision that appeared to encourage busing, Burger issued an unusual "memorandum" suggesting that lower courts were misreading the ruling...
...history of Argentina and the Americas. Although her education never progressed beyond high school, she is not without political experience. During Perón's exile in Spain, she twice returned alone to Argentina to end squabbles among the Peronistas. She acted as Perón's intermediary with the endless stream of supporters who visited him in Spain, and even represented him in China, where she had talks with both Chairman Mao Tse-tung and Premier Chou Enlai...
Communio's first issue last April-crisply written and including articles by progressives-suggests that it will be the conservative journal most worth reading.

In Ross's view, this haste suggests an intent to de fraud...
Till it reconvenes, the Rothko trial will furnish the art world with endless speculation. But in the meantime two things seemed certain: the trial will drag on for months after the defense opens in August, and when all the legal costs are paid, there could be precious little left for either Rothko's children or the artists he wanted to help...
