...heyday of Communism at "Little Moscow on the Charles" has passed and the Students for a Democratic Society have come of age. But the influence of the Communists in New Left groups remains a subject of much speculation not only among habitual red-baiters, but also among members...
Times change, and so does the Supreme Court-sometimes quite rapidly. In 1952, during Senator Joseph McCarthy's heyday, the court confirmed the validity of New York State's Feinberg Law, barring subversives from the public-school system.

Today, motorists are arriving from Los Angeles and San Francisco along winding, coastal Route 1 at the rate of 435,000 a year, and the crowds are growing. On Sunday, the waiting time for visitors can stretch out to three hours-but then Hearst used to keep his editors waiting for days before they were ushered into "the Chiefs" presence...
