Roger D. Fisher '42, professor of Law, who has served as legal adviser to Anguilla's government for the past 18 months, said last night that "once Britain concedes that she will not force Anguilla back under St. Kitts, things should be relatively easy." He said there is evidence that an American, Jack N. Holcomb, and several others "are exerting enormous influence" over Ronald Webster, Anguilla's president, but added that there was no proof of any link with the Mafia...
When the Socialists entered into the Grand Coalition with the Christian Democrats in 1966, Heinemann became Minister of Justice. In less than 21 years in office, he accomplished more than all his predecessors combined. As part of a massive revision of Germany's archaic 19th century legal code, he has already deleted the prohibition of adultery and homosexuality between consenting adults and broadened the right of journalists to print hitherto classified government information without fear of treason proceedings. In addition, Heinemann counseled the Communists how to go about re-establishing a party in West Germany without running afoul...
...left in an untenable position no matter who won. Since 1924, when Congress decided that American Indians are U.S. citizens, Navajos and other Indians have been both tribal citizens and Americans.

To the tribal council, the Navajos' traditional rulers, the lawyers with their angry Indian clients were a forked-tongued threat...
Impounded last year by the U.S. Customs Service, I Am Curious (Yellow) has since been the subject both of bitter legal wrangles and a lot of gossip. Reports circulated that Yellow* contained some of the most detailed sex scenes ever spliced into an overground film. Grove Press, which imported Yellow from Sweden, issued a paperback copy of the script "with over 250 illustrations," many of the sort that usually come in plain brown wrappers. Now, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Yellow may be shown uncut, and moviegoers can confirm all the rumors for themselves. They...
