Despite Black's fears, the court made it plain that it was approving only demonstrations that do not sabotage the normal school routine. The wearing of arm bands in Des Moines, Fortas said, was a symbolic act "closely akin to pure speech" -and it did not provoke any major disorder. Presumably, the court may not take as tolerant a view of more troublesome demonstrations in the future. And its reasoning may well reach beyond public schools to college campuses, where minorities have effectively prevented other students from getting the education that they or their parents are paying...
...Your Thing, But . . ." Dr. HIP is permissive about pot, concluding that medical evidence is lacking about marijuana's harm to normal people. He cites unpublished research that suggests that LSD may be no more dangerous genetically than caffeine, aspirin or other drugs. But he warns against "street drugs" with their impurities, has little good to say about amphetamines, inveighs against fad diets and fasting and harangues his readers to get VD checkups. Freedom demands responsibility, he says, so: "Do your thing-but only if it does not harm yourself or others...
...environment on man; yet orthodox analysis traces mankind's emotional problems to the first formative years of life, minimizing most subsequent influences on the psyche.

"Misuse of scientific and technical knowledge presents a major threat to the existence of mankind," 48 professors state in a document distributed at M.I.T. and on dozens of other campuses. "Through its actions in Viet Nam, our Government has shaken our confidence in its ability to make wise and humane decisions...
...contrast between love and sex is no new idea, and I could not call Sister George a "not-to-be-missed" film for that reason; but this particular portrayal is extremely funny. Of course the love is not the normal give-and-take love of the mental-hygiene textbooks. Instead of turning the play--which Marcus subtitled a comedy--into one of your modern tedious exposes of shallowness and love-hunger, Aldrich has created a flawed but solid delight...
