...Pendulum Swing. The most remarkable case is that of a soldier who was 28 when he took a bullet in the heart at Bastogne. Two quarts of blood had to be drawn from his punctured chest, and not surprisingly, he has had his share of lung trouble. But after more than 20 years, his ECG is normal, although X rays show the bullet still firmly lodged in the back wall of his left ventricle. There it swings, pendulum fashion, with each heartbeat. Though the veteran sometimes suffers from short ness of breath and dizziness, his main trouble is anxiety...

This year, the pendulum swung in the opposite direction. The Committee, by taking over the job, achieved an even distribution of the freshman class among the Houses. Each House got a fairly uniform sprinkling of scholars, athletes, actors, and writers.

A great deal of hope was pinned on the letters to preserve a degree of student choice in the final assignments. But something went wrong. The Committee isn't talking.

Foppish Dress. Though London's pendulum now swings with verve and elan, it started to move, as near as anyone can tell, during the Suez crisis of 1956, which many Britons found darker even than the days of the 1940 Blitz. Angry thousands massed among the pigeons beneath Nelson's glowering statue in Trafalgar Square to protest an aging, ailing Tory Prime Minister's final, futile attempt to assert Britannia's right to rule the waves. That same year produced the first explosive act of rebellion: John Osborne's corrosive drama, Look Back in Anger...

Many experts gravely doubt that law-enforcement agencies even now have either the legal or technical weapons needed to combat violence, theft and organized crime at today's intensified levels. At the heart of the controversy over the court lies the danger that the judicial pendulum may have swung too far toward protection of the individual criminal, too far away from protection of society...

...Relaxed Standards. The Supreme Court, though, is well aware of public cries that "the pendulum has swung too far in favor of criminals." And to redress the balance, the court may devise more relaxed standards. As the court said in 1960: "What the Constitution forbids is not all searches and seizures, but unreasonable searches and seizures." As an instance, the court in 1963 upheld the right of California police to make an arrest and search after they entered a narcotics peddler's room with a passkey but without a warrant...
