...refusing to testify. Then Federal Judge George L. Hart Jr. gave him a one-month suspended sentence because his offense "reflects a heart too loyal" to the President. Next the bar in his home state of Arizona voted merely to censure him, the mildest possible sanction. And a panel of three Washington, D.C., federal judges found no grounds for suspending him from practice in their courts.

Economic Boost. In its new report, the Washington panel laments that neglect. It emphasizes that jojoba-bean oil could "probably be used as a sperm oil substitute for the complete range of uses."

Even the U.S. Congress took up the war crimes question, albeit in an unofficial way. After the My Lai revelations, ten liberal members of the House of Representatives jointly sponsored the Congressional Conference on War and National Responsibility, where a number of experts on a specially invited panel expounded on matters like the relevance of the Nurenberg war crimes trials to American conduct in Vietnam, the use of experimental weapons like herbicides in jungle warfare, and the dilemmas of individuals who opposed...
