...recent delay in desegregating Mississippi's schools. If the court agrees to hear the case, the result could be an early clash with the Nixon Administration, which took the unprecedented step of requesting the halt. Justice Hugo Black, who supervises the Deep South Fifth Circuit for the high court, has asked the Government to reply to the fund's petition by Oct. 8. Last week Assistant Attorney General Jerris Leonard asserted that a decision to compel desegregation throughout the South this year would be unenforceable. To such critics as the Justice Department's own civil rights lawyers...
...long as draft boards can act capriciously, draft lawyers perform a valid legal service. Unfortunately, an obvious problem is that men who can afford skilled draft lawyers have a clear advantage over the sons of poor families who cannot pay high legal fees. Though some lawyers are helping to train "draft counselors," who give free help, the poor still get less than professional advice-more sad proof that the present draft laws not only make draft lawyers necessary but also breed contempt for law in general...
Colossal Gift. So far, Oldenburg has completed only one monument, and it is not his best work.

...happened to wear women's shoes. Her further progress: a "black sweeper" deflowers her at 15 or 16, an American soldier gets her pregnant, a landlord spills his "vodka breath" all over her face, a wealthy Arab introduces her to Osteopath Stephen Ward, he introduces her to high society. In the second installment, she recalls a night with Soviet Spy Eugene Ivanov: "Then I threw all reserve to the winds. He was my perfect specimen of a man, a huggy-bear of a man, and he wanted...
Behind all the maneuvering is the scheduled airlines' growing fear of the increasingly popular cut-rate charter lines, which offer high-season round-trip Atlantic fares for as little as $150. The scheduled carriers are particularly disturbed by abuses of the "affinity rule," which decrees that only members of bona fide organizations can take charter flights. Recently, a group calling itself the "International Order of Old Bastards" arranged a charter trip from the U.S. to Mallorca. Unamused, Pan Am executives complained to the CAB; meanwhile the flight was canceled...
