...TEMPLE seems totally out of place there, its awesome gray presence looming over Seaver Street in the heart of Boston's black community. The temple Mishkan Tefila belongs to another era, an era when Roxbury was peopled by the Goldbergs and the Rosenthals--but Roxbury is no longer Jewish, and the awesome granite structure is no longer a temple. It serves a new constituency and a new purpose now: it is the National Center for Afro-American Artists. Last Friday in the auditorium of the Yeshiva, the National Afro-American Center presented its first Black Film Festival...
...more thoughtful American role in the world. It could considerably improve the tone of international dialogue, injecting a new calm and reasonableness that might produce substantive achievement in lessened tensions and new understanding. On the evidence of his trip, the President has laid a sound foundation for the "new era of negotiation" he often speaks of. Especially, he has eased European edginess over U.S.-Soviet conversations, reassuring the alliance partners that their interests will be heeded and respected...
...Era of Permissiveness? To Justice Hugo Black, who vigorously dissented (Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote a separate dissent), the decision opened up "a new revolutionary era of permissiveness."

As one of the last great Victorian eccentrics, Haldane carried the belligerent confidence of that era into the conformist corridors of the mid-20th century. As an aristocrat turned Communist, he was a classic caricature of the greathearted scientist who, as social pundit, squanders the fame acquired in one field on wild causes in another...
Only the CAB's decision later this month will tell whether Youth Fare is really dead or whether it faces, at best, another reprieve and another era of controversy. If the CAB does kill the Fare, or if the courts kill it at some time in the future, only special Congressional legislation can resurrect it. Senator Percy has in fact proposed such legislation, but even if his bill in its present form would be feasible (and some Hill veterans doubt that it would be), no one knows when, if at all, Congress will enact...
