...lottery system, based on a random selection of birth-dates, will draw men from a pool of 19-year-olds, instead of following the present policy of drafting the oldest men first...
After an hour of official briefing and an hour of unofficial panel analysis, many correspondents remained unsated. For them there was still perhaps the oldest method of probing the Vatican, a method used by diplomats, spies and merchants long before there were newspapers: taking a cleric to dinner. At such restaurants as Romolo's, where Raphael is supposed to have found his model for The Baker's Daughter, or Galeassi's, which also attracts a movie and theatrical crowd, the clergy last week responded as usual to the pleasures of the table, and crumbs of information mingled...

Teachers, for example, have been told to stop wearing miniskirts because they are "an example of poor Western culture."

Whether that moratorium continues may depend largely on the fate of a Negro named William Maxwell, who has been condemned to death in Arkansas for raping a white woman. Among other things, Maxwell argues that his 14th Amendment right to due process was violated because there were no statutory standards to govern the jury's decision on whether he should be executed or imprisoned. Although the Justices are quite unlikely...
