Last week, with a New Jersey courtroom for a stage, Jones demonstrated that he had lost none of his talent for theatrical invective. "You are not a righteous judge!" the defendant bellowed at Essex County Judge Leon Kapp, who sentenced him to a near maximum 2½-to-3-year prison term and a fine of $1,000 for illegally possessing the guns. "You represent a crumbling structure of society!" yelled Jones, who had earlier earned a 30-day contempt sentence for his outbursts in court...
Judge Kapp would have none of it. "I believe you were an active participant to burn Newark," he told the unrepentant author, and then cited a poem published in last December's Evergreen Review in which Jones exhorted Negroes to "smash the window at night (these are magic actions) .. .

These committees have become integral parts of the decisionmaking process at these colleges. Unless Harvard students are substantially less trustworthy than other students, unless Harvard's faculty-student gap is incredibly large, or unless Harvard students are considerably less interested in their environment than other students, it appears that these objections...
