...jail cell in Poona last week squatted India's most famous man, the wizened little brown man with the big-eared, big-eyed face of a bespectacled lemur: the Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. For four months he had been out of the news, drinking goat's milk, spinning cotton on his charkha, brooding as ever on the woes of India's Pariah Untouchables. Inside the bare parched skull "a tempest was raging." Finally, "the voice became insistent and said, 'Why don't you do it?' I resisted but in vain.'' Last week...

...city that Schlitz made famous, welcomed beer back with special editions of its newspapers. Here again the State had provided no regulatory legislation. Milwaukee licensed 4,207 "taverns"; the thirsty stormed Juneau Avenue breweries at midnight. At the Miller Brewery, beer was passed out free to thirsters who brought milk bottles, tomato cans. Wisconsin Avenue was jammed with celebrants, some of whom stood on the tops of their cars singing "Sweet Adeline." Pabst had its product, screamingly escorted by police sirens, at downtown hotels eight minutes after legalization...
