Parents and police are thoroughly aware of the important role the teen-age club plays in keeping the youngsters off the streets and out of mischief. "If I wasn't here," said one ducktailed Boston club patron last week, "I'd be out stealing hubcaps." For the ordinary teen-agers with less tendency to delinquency, the clubs' value is more positive: like San Francisco's Claudia French, teen-agers across the U.S. are finding food, fun and, most important, friends under one companionable roof, designed especially for them...
Fatal Pause. In fact, Ulbricht's prison wall is a cynical denial of the human rights that are recognized by every civilized society, and even fraudulently guaranteed by the East German constitution, which pledges: "Every citizen has the right to emigrate."

She wins the citation for courageous good taste in boudoir furnishings. Mrs. Edusi, the wife of Ghanas ex-Minister of Industry, purchased a gold-plated bed at the height of her country's austerity program...
...14th Amendment to the Constitution requiring "equal protection of the laws." In his dissent, Justice Frankfurter, who was joined by Justice John Marshall Harlan, urged "complete detachment, in fact and appearance, from political entanglements." Wrote Frankfurter: "There is not under our Constitution a judicial remedy for every political mischief"-and relief for victims of unfair apportionment "must come through an aroused popular conscience that sears the conscience of the people's representatives." No Streetcars. Tennessee is just one of many states in which the consciences of state representatives have remained notably unseared. For decades, even as the U.S. population...
