New have his definition the moment he walks out." Entering New Orleans' of Paris Prison reminded Chicago Correspondent Sam Iker of being and into an ancient submarine: "A combination of heat and smell, stale air, kitchen aromas and perspiring bodies." Washington's Dean State found it easier to enter than to leave the Missouri State Penitentiary. "It takes a while to adjust to the fact that...

In Chicago, TIME Correspondent Sam Iker stopped 16 people at random in the street, and discovered that just two had some idea of what the Moratorium was about. The only Chicago businesses that planned to close were nine art galleries. One reason for this heartland attitude may be last week's disruptive outbursts in Chicago by the extremist "Weatherman" faction of the S.D.S.
