...wiretap; Boudin won the Coplon appeal because authorities had eavesdropped on lawyer-client conversations.) Filling the gap in his practice, he began to make a name for himself in a series of passport cases: he diligently represented such noted left-wingers as Corliss Lamont, Paul Robeson and Rockwell Kent in proceedings that finally resulted in a 1958 Supreme Court decision ending State Department restrictions on international travel by leftists. All told, Boudin has argued before the Supreme Court 15 or 20 times (the late Justice John Harlan once listed him among the ten ablest lawyers to appear before the court...
...production of this play which explores the past (if less completely and explicitly than Long Day's Journey Into Night), O'Neill left almost impossibly complete directions which specify the characteristics of the actors down to their nationality, and in certain cases, their eye color. Loeb director Kent Paul attempts to fulfill all those specifications. The leading actors are Irish. Josie really looks as if she is five feet eleven inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. And Paul has wisely adhered to O'Neill's original dramatic intentions, not only his staging details; his Loeb production captures the ineffable sadness...
...open, easy freedom that indicates widespread recognition. Among Democratic panelists, the consensus is that McGovern is a likable, attractive candidate of indisputable stature.

It will be headed by Dr. Glenn A. Olds, president of Kent State University, with an advisory council including such notables as Polio Fighter Jonas E. Salk, and former U.N. Secretary-General U Thant. As for his latest solutions, the cryptic creator of the geodesic dome called for a new "world accounting system," democracy by "continual electronic referendum," and an "educational revolution...
...because Land is convinced that he should be "financially conservative and technologically audacious." In Cambridge, the company seems to feed on the intellectual and technological ferment of neighboring Harvard and M.I.T.-where Land occasionally teaches courses in specialized sciences-and sometimes on social ferment as well. Soon after the Kent State killings in 1970, Polaroid employees were invited to send any message of their choosing to President Nixon at company expense; some 2,200 did so. Polaroid technicians have gone to extreme lengths to protect the environment, once even rigging a costly twist in pipes leading from a chemical plant...
