...will probably be more conservative than either Fortas or Warren, who were in close agreement on most issues. Still, conservative critics who expect a turnabout in decisions are almost certain to be disappointed. For one thing, the major decisions of the Warren Court are largely irreversible, already part of the social fabric. For another, the court almost always changes at a pace that can only be called glacial. Innovations usually proceed decision by decision, year by year...
Name Calling. Bradley's campaign style mirrors his own personality-low-key and detached. In the belief that Yorty is doing a good job of talking himself out of a third term, he has chosen for the most part not to be drawn into a name-calling contest.

He also promised...
...Arab territory their army conquered in the 1967 war. Now, however, the Cabinet's position is rapidly hardening. Israel's new frontiers, says Premier Golda Meir, must provide "no natural advantage to our neighbors" (see box). In strategic translation, that means that Israel intends to retain part of Jordan's West Bank, at least a measure of Syria's Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and as yet unspecified portions of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Last week Deputy Premier Yigal Allon promised Israelis that "if our frontiers are made secure, they will eventually be recognized." Defense...
