...Udall, the most important right cause is Train's commitment to "the environmental impact of what we're doing." Train believes that the Federal Government must assign top priority to preserving open space and protecting wildlife-two of Interior's traditional functions. He insists that the Government also study the wise use of all of the nation's vulnerable natural resources, and specifically a campaign against such blights as pollution, overcrowding and planned uglification. Train, 48, an Eisenhower appointee to a tax court judgeship, first became interested in conservation as a big-game hunter...
...family had lived in Baghdad and Basra for centuries, he had no regrets about leaving. "We were all suspected of being spies for Israel, but we did nothing, nothing . . . They are Nazis." The 2,500 Jews who remain in Iraq today live under a reign of terror. All must carry special identity cards; none are permitted to hold passports. Their phones have been confiscated, their mail opened, their businesses seized, bank accounts frozen. Few still hold jobs, all are closely watched by secret police...
Syria, Egypt and Libya rank near Iraq in the severity of their treatment of the Jews.

Peterson of Houston, who served on a jury in a torture-murder case a few years ago, described the evidence as "gruesome and sickening." And the ordeal does not always end with the trial. A Floridian who sat on a jury that acquitted...
Herded into Buses. When the jury is sequestered, its members must forsake their careers and all the rhythms of their normal lives for prolonged periods. For three weeks in 1967, jurors in the trial of former Senate Aide Bobby Baker on theft, income tax evasion and conspiracy charges were confined to a cheerless court building in Washington, D.C., while Baker himself was free. Their only "relief," if it can be called that, came on weekends, when they were herded into buses for rides around the winter countryside. Jury Member Lenzie Barnes recalls: "It's like being a prisoner...
