...Kennedy's assassination is John P. Roche, former Brandeis dean, ex-national chairman of the Americans for Democratic Action, and currently Lyndon Johnson's "intellectual-in-residence." For the benefit of those who accept the theory, he cites Roche's law: "Those who can conspire haven't got the time; those who do conspire haven't got the talent." Last week, in a letter to the London Times Literary Supplement congratulating Oxford Don John Sparrow for his incisive, 18,000-word defense of the Warren Commission Report (TIME, Dec. 22), Roche raised a point that...
...Midas complex of Charles de Gaulle and other foreigners. McGeorge Bundy was not quite right when he cracked that only the greedy, the frightened, country folk and Frenchmen love gold. Anybody who has seen his fortunes dissipated by recurrent invasions, inflations and devaluations views gold as a safer haven than any paper money.

Father of His Country? To charges that Ghana is becoming an African backwater, John Harlley, vice chairman of the Liberation Council, answers: "We want it that way.

The council would then permit political...

Even its author calls it "forbiddingly technical, a practitioner's manual." But lawyers regard it as far more. "We haven't had any treatises like this for some years," says University of Chicago Law School Dean Phil Neal. "The closest analogies would be the great treatises of Wigmore on evidence and Williston on sales and contracts." Soon after publication in 1965, Security Interests earned Harvard's rarely given Ames...
...must conclude that laws--like everything else--are subject to ethical consideration. Once you've thought it out and consulted yourself and you've concluded your moral obligation to think and decide, then it's your moral obligation to act. Unless it's purely suicidal, in which case you haven't thought it through right. In other words, you've got to think. And all laws are fair game...
