...nationals on grounds that they have broken immigration rules, the Carter Administration has ruled out mass "summary" expulsion of the students. Such a purge would violate U.S. immigration laws, which say that deportations must be handled on a case-by-case basis, subject to review by the courts. But last week, in a general tightening, the President ordered the Justice Department to deport any Iranian students who were not complying with the terms of their entry visas, and this week the Immigration Service will ask all Iranian students in the U.S. to report their present location and status.

Said he: "Between the three of them, if you scrambled their brains, you wouldn't get a half...
...Minneapolis too the hard-nosed cop image seemed to lose its appeal. It was personified in that city by Charles Stenvig, a policeman who won three two-year terms as mayor, the most recent in 1975. He tried for a fourth last week, distributing one pamphlet in which he was pictured wrapped in the American flag...
