...scandal has been expansive enough to leave room for all kinds of crusades. Senator Thomas Dodd even smuggled in a swipe at the Demon Weed. Must be that Vietnam marijuana, he sagely reasoned, that turned American soldiers, traditionally "well-mannered, loyal, kind to a fault," into maniacs. "Heaven knows," he went on, "we've seen the violence wrought by marijuana here at home." If you've seen photos of Lt. William R.

But the A.F.L.-C.I.O. had never organized a boycott on its own-until last week. Then, on the first day of the Christmas shopping season...
...talked about the royal family's financial problems on American TV. Some found it hard to sympathize with their plight. William Hamilton, a staunchly antimonarchist Labor M.P., may indeed have reflected the views of overtaxed Britons when he asked: "Does nobody at Buckingham Palace know that millions of loyal subjects are struggling to live on less than it costs to keep the royal corgis?" They are the short-legged dogs that the Queen breeds...
