There are also smaller groups (the Lowell House and other women's groups for example), groups that appear and disappear fairly frequently (the New Right Coalition and other libertarian groups, for example) and ad hoc pressure groups that spring up around particular issues. Last year there were groups interested in raising money for the victims of the North African drought, picketing military recruiters, changing the academic calendar, and raising money for Israel during the October...
...turn into the year of the dress. Unlike the sad "sack" of the '60s, St. Laurent's Naive Chemise features more elegant tailoring, arm-length sleeves with tightly buttoned cuffs, high necklines and low, mid-calf hems. "For me, the chemise is an expression of freedom," said Libertarian Yves. "I wanted to make the fabric float over and just caress the body in a sensual way." The pathfinder who helped lead women to long pants some six years ago offered some manly trouser suits for evening wear, but it was clear that in Paris at least, pants were...
WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS, 75, a Democrat appointed by Franklin Roosevelt in 1939, holds the record for Supreme Court longevity; both he and his pacemaker seem to be going strong.

Noted for facing judicial issues headon, Gesell has been both helpful and damaging to Nixon in the President's judicial...
...liberalism. Another is the Nixon Administration's longstanding plea for "balance" in the press. The result is that some editors and publishers have sought out conservatives in the way that the New York Times recruited William Safire (TIME, Feb. 12, 1973). The former Nixon speechwriter calls himself a "libertarian federalist" rather than a conservative, but that distinction is a fine one. Safire and other new writers have surfaced during the Watergate torrents, and some have turned on the Administration that they would otherwise be supporting. Among the fresh commentators...
