...well, and he was greeted like a returning hero. A state representative and a judge even gave him the long-delayed evidence that his battle for academic freedom had been successful: a copy of the 1967 state law repealing the old anti-evolution statute. For his part, Scopes remains outspoken. Self-billed as an "oldtime Socialist," he backed sex education in the school, warned that the U.S. is "controlled to a large degree by fanatics" and cautioned that the nation is moving not toward Communism but fascism. Yet the man who was once accused of undermining the Book of Genesis...
Among the brave band of Russians who campaign openly for greater civil liberties in the Soviet Union, there is no more vivid personality than former Major General Pyotr Grigorenko. The 62-year-old war hero is an outspoken defender of the sovereignty of Czechoslovakia, the rights of the U.S.S.R.'s Crimean Tartar minority and other causes.

As a cantankerous, outspoken symbol of the unindexed human spirit, Lundquist is too dangerous to be allowed to roam the nation's slums, migrant-labor camps and mined-out hills. He might stir up the animals, or give them dangerous lessons in non-gamesmanship...

Fresh from his remarkable performance last month on an unofficial visit to the Middle East, where he insulted both Israelis and Arabs with cheerful impartiality (TIME, Feb. 2). the outspoken ex-Foreign Secretary refused to be intimidated by his audience. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, he declared, is "a tough politician-I love her very much. But I'm fond of Nasser, too. If you want peace, you have to like both peoples.
