...Jeffery J. Kassel, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorney who argued against the University of Wisconsin, said the court struck down the codes because they were both too broad and too vague, violating the first and fourteenth amendments...
...what you will, complain as you wish -- and it usually gives rise to plenty of speech and complaint -- the Venice Biennale is always fun to visit. It also has an edge on all other festivals of contemporary art, like the more didactic Documenta at Kassel, West Germany.

Accompanied by his attractive wife Anne-Aymone, Giscard purposely passed up such major cities as Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich in order to tour what he called l'Allemagne profonde (Germany in depth).

...opening round of his campaign last week, Brandt boarded a special eight-car maroon train for a whistle-stopping tour through Kassel, the small medieval towns of Eschwege and Northeim, and on to Hanover and Wiesbaden. He assured listeners in the towns bordering East Germany that "each little step toward peace has helped," and prophesied that within a few years families separated by the frontier would soon be able to visit freely again. "We need all the votes we can get," he told the large and enthusiastic crowds. "Help me, my friends." His audiences responded with a chant: "Willy, Willy...
