...married his present wife, then 23, within less than a month. Although the technical expertise he gained as a New Deal chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been indispensable to a host of antitrust decisions, his legal craftsmanship can be careless. He writes articles for Playboy and other magazines, and is an outspoken off-the-bench activist on issues ranging from U.S. recognition of Red China to the ecological misdeeds of the Army Corps of Engineers. Such advocacy piques those who feel that Supreme Court Justices should be more magisterial and aloof from politics and public debate; there...

Nearly all of the amateur smugglers are under 30, but surprisingly few are drifters or dropouts. One of three young...
...January, Brazilian right-wing leaders decreed a new censorship law aimed mainly at pornography and obscenity, under which 5,000 copies of the February Playboy were impounded for three weeks before being released for sale in opaque plastic wrappers. Political censorship is somewhat more subtle. By telephone or personal visits, Brazilian army officers tell publishers and broadcast executives which subjects are taboo.
