...months Cartoonist Charles Schulz, 43, had been playing with the notion of having Snoop's doghouse burn down. Now the idea doesn't seem so comic-nor does Schulz's nickname, "Sparky." Last week his one-story studio in Sebastqpol, Calif., caught fire and burned to the ground. There were almost some roasted Peanuts, but Schulz's daughter Meredith raced in and saved a batch of strips he'd drawn for February. Snoopy is-whew!-safe...
...Gibson ruled in Jackson v. Pasadena that California school boards can no longer merely refrain from discrimination. "It is up to the school boards," he said, "to eliminate racial imbalance in schools regardless of its cause." In 1963 Traynor spoke for his court in issuing another U.S. precedent: the idea that even non-negligent manufacturers now have "strict liability" to consumers injured by their defective products (TIME...

"Alert your school boards to the dangers of this program," cried Mrs. Fred J. Tooze, president of the W.C.T.U. Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead, national president of the P.T.A., called the idea "outrageous."

The 3.2% figure was arrived at by averaging out a five-year productivity growth rate...
Robert Thomas, in his discussion of the immunity of members of Congress, disproves the old idea that legal writers make up for dry writing style by logical rigor. He is both dry and illogical. Not only is his defense of congressional immunity unconvincing, but he ignores the deficiencies of legislative self-regulation: the un-likelihood that courts would throw socialists out of a legislature, as the New York legislature did in the 1920's; or Negroes out, as the Georgia legislature did this year...
